I don't know if it is out of Beta, but here's a post from this
list from Feb.
Margaret
Adam,
Here is a copy of a message I posted to another list on this topic;
you
might find it interesting.
A recent message in Top Tech Tidbits included a very interesting email
exchange on this topic, and below is a cut and paste from that
exchange,
posted by Ellen Mosner at Microsoft replying on behalf of Madelyn
Bryant
McIntire.
"Microsoft is aware of the lack of accessibility of the recently
acquired GIANT anti-spyware product. The Microsoft product group
that
is now working on GIANT is aware of its accessibility issues, and has
been working closely with the Accessible Technology group on
developing
a plan to make the product accessible. The current release from
Microsoft of GIANT is only a beta release and we intend to fully
address
the issues by the time the product ships in its final form. Even
though
the product was a shipping product at the time we acquired it, we
decided to remove it from the "shipping" status and make it a beta
because of the accessibility problems associated with the product.
Microsoft remains fully committed to the accessibility of our
products."

the work around is use schedule to schedule a scan
no cursor will see the scan button
once installed,
the default, is to scan at 2 a. m.
there are no scripts yet as far as i know
but the menus are accessible
so change the schedule to scan 5 minutes from now and it will run
automatically

Subject: Microsoft's Anti-Spyware program (formerly called Giant)
Have any of you downladed Microsoft's new anti-spyware program
and use it successfully with JAWS 6? If not are there scripts
for this program. If yes where do I obtain the scripts for this
new anti-spyware program?
Thank you.
