Hi.  My husband is the security expert in my house and he's sighted.  The
only thing I can say is that I have Windows 7, JAWS 11 and Viper works just
fine with JAWS for me.  My husband has it set up to automatically download.
If you have a question, maybe he could help.

Hi, Dave. Yes, I have disabled vipre and confirmed that it is the cause of
the problems. My dilemma is that I have a consultant who is an expert in
security, and Vipre is the application he believes provides the best
antivirus protection. Microsoft essentials is on my radar, but I'm loath to
give up Vipre without figuring out a possible solution to my system's
existing apparent conflicts with Vipre. I've never come across a single
reference to Vipre on this list, but I'm still hoping someone has worked
with it and JAWS.

Adrian,

 

Can't speak for Vipre, but if that's the only change you've made, then it's
the first to suspect. Have you considered uninstalling it and then running
your system and applications for a while to see if there is a significant
improvement?

 

I use MS-Essentials, and it appears to be non-intrusive over the year that
it's been operating.

Hi. Has any other JAWS user installed the Vipre antivirus program? Ever
since the latest update, released about two weeks ago, performance on my
system has deteriorated. some programs take longer to open, I've had
numerous crashes and JAWS is harder, if not impossible, to bring back
without rebooting. 

 

I have the latest release of JAWS 11 on an XP machine. My major memory hog
is Outlook 2003. I've neither installed nor updated any other applications
during this time.

 

Any thoughts?
