I personally would find it intrusive to have a voice telling me that the
database has been updated, especially if the database has been updated
as often as a good virus database *should* be updated. The thing I like
about Nod32, and now Eset SmartSecurity, is that you install it and
forget it. The database is updated completley in the background without
fanfare, and if I really want proof that it has, the information is
right in the system tray for me to read. I want no inkly whatsoever that
an update is happening, especially if there are going to be two or three
database updates per day. Just a personal opinion and viewpoint.

Hi Brian,
I am using Avast 4.8 (Free) on one Xp machine and the 4.8 Paid version on
my other Xp machine. Both versions are completely Jaws accessible. I
only need the Jaws Cursor if I want to monitor an executing scan. The
statistics can be read with the PC Cursor after the scan is done. You
need only make two minor adjustments to the program for the improved
accessibility. No scripts are necessary. Avast also scans for Spyware.
The program does have a number of favorable ratings. I like hearing the
voice announcements of the data base updates. I hope this information
will help you decide your choice of antivirus software.

Subject: Super Antispyware
Hi friends,
I got a new used Windows 2000 computer and am about to install an
antivirus and Antispyware program. I've been reading about the Super
Antispyware program on this list and was wondering if I need scripts to
use it. I also would like to know which anti virus I should use that is
Jaws friendly, but is comparable to Norton. I like Norton because I
have a friend come and uninstall the old version each year and set it
up to up date and run automatically three times a week so I pretty much
don't have to mess with it or learn how to run it. I know, I'm a bit
lazy on that program. Which program will allow me to operate it like I
do the Norton program. Any help and ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Brian
