It definitely does help and I fully agree that the AVG anti spyware program is basically inaccessible by comparison to other programs. I still have not found the blind user option because for some reason or other, my Windows narrator is not speaking and I have gone into the voice options and the only voice there is Sam. I have no clue.

First, you are looking for an option that is related to blind users, which is during the installation. Second, Indeed, AVG do have an anti-spyware solution, but, as stated in a previous message, it requires use of the JAWS cursor and is in no way accessible compared to AVG Anti-virus. Finally, Yes, he does mean Control Panel > Add or Remove Programmes. Sorry to have a go at you Alan, but please try and get your facts right before posting. You never know, you could be straying a novice user, for example, off to somewhere they'll get completely lost. Thank you, and hope that helps John.
