Hello Alice, Where did you get 8.5 free? When I clicked on the update it said you had to pay $35. Cathy ----- Original Message ----- From: alice dampman To: jaws-users-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx ; jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, April 03, 2009 1:01 PM Subject: not really OT: new AVG free Has anyone downloaded the new AVG free 8.5? I did, and now, it seems that AVG is running scans for hours every day. I guess this should make me feel all safe and protected from viruses and other goodies, but while this is going on, JAWS stutters and hitches up and locks up, and it's really hard to get anything done. Anyone else noticing this? Are there any settings I can change to encourage JAWS to keep performing even when these scans are running in the background? Thanks, Alice alicedh@xxxxxxxxxxx ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No virus found in this incoming message.
