I was using a free screen reader when geekos name of local company took my laptop to clean off,and am using the free screen reader now, I wanted to point out the legal side, a product can work with screen readers as kaspersky once did,then stop,not tell you and you have no rights under the law ,at least in Uk,, I maybe did not explain it well but I asked the rnib about it as well,they confirmed, that as it was NOT a manufactured item it was not covered by the saleof goods act. In english law the sale of goods act says an item mustbe "fitfor purpose", In scottish law it is 5 years, in english it is 6, but software or anti virus is not considered to be manufactured. a friend a vip jaws user even wrote to his Mp, his mp made enquiries, and said there wasno way around it. seems if there was it could "stifle the inventiveness and creative skills of makers for fear they couldbe sued by general public., I did not accept that a product that once worked and then not was not guilty of negligence, it ruined my computer!!----- Original Message ----- From: Douglas Richard Dexheimer To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, December 21, 2010 2:28 PM Subject: Re: kaspersky Anyone know why Kaveinthran's replies get eaten up and all I get are the originals below?

Subject: kaspersky I am writing this separately, more may understand, in 2008 I had my laptop cleaned off,to get rid of embedded freeserve, a former Isp, it was fixed in windows.A company locally did the job, on this laptop and on bringing it back said"avg is no good you must buy kaspersky, I was pressured by them and bought it for desktop and laptop, now in the past it I am told once did work with screen readers, but then stopped, in June of 2008 I was hit by trojans which wiped my laptop clean again I mean the trojans left almost nothing, I complaine to company who are not interested. I then find out others using window eyes and in fact all screen readers are having same treatment. I was really angry and contacted company in UK they said go to Head office in Moscow!, to cut to chase I was furious and complained to trading standardsoffice, the item was sold no warnings and was"unfit for purpose, under the SGA act of 1979, I was told that as it is not a manufactured item it is not covered by the sga act, one person said he even wrote to his mp,, manufactured items in Britain are not covered by sga act if you in USA can do something about Kaspersky please letme know Iit left scars on me! sorry to interrupt! Some of my folks said free anti-virus is not powerful to fight with virus What is your comment! thanks __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 5720 (20101221) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com
