Well, good luck. Just to be clear, I'm running Jaws 18, Malware Bytes Premium version 3.06 with the latest public build of Windows 10. Les

Hi Mike, Well, I only tried it once after your inquiry. I'm running this under Windows 10, and it's the Premium version, Other than that, there are no differences.

Hi Les, Exact steps I used, but like I said they wouldn't work consistently, & this was attempted with 3 desktops & 1 laptop all running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. I also tried with updating from 2.2 to the latest 3.0, & fresh installs of 3.0 after removing using the MWB removal tool. What I didn't try was changing any settings because I wanted to make comparisons between 2.2 & 3.0 as the computers were. Take care.

Well, accessibility is subjective to a degree. As to your point, I was able to edit a scheduled scan. I chose the Schedule Tab by checking it with the enter key. Then I hit the space barr on Edit Schedule anmd was able to adjust the time, frequency and any other setting and then save my changes.

Yes, you can navigate it, but being accessible is another thing. Have you tried doing a simple accessibility task, like scheduling a scan? I couldn't get the scheduler to work with any kind of reliability factor at all. I'm a big stickler about the difference between being able to navigate & being accessible. Take care.

I'm running Malware Byes Premium version 3.06 and can get reliable information by tabbing from field to field from within the interface. To date, I haven't had any threats detected, but I can access the various tabs and dialogs in a reasonable manner.

Hi Maria, Yes, it still updates, but you need to know how to turn off program updating, so only the definitions update, but you need to be running the Pro version to have the option to turn off program updating.

Hi Tim, MWB 3.0 is not accessible. You can navigate it, but accessible it's not. MWB 2.2 is accessible with a little practice. eb Take care.

Hello Brian, I greatly appreciate the feedback. Is Malware Bytes version 3 accessible? My paid license is an annual subscription, and I assume it applies to both the current and any previous version of MB; I have been running their version 1.75, since I was warned on this list that version 2 was not accessible. I have not tried Version 3. Please advise, and much thanks!

Tim, The current version of Windows Defender that comes with Windows 10 is a perfectly serviceable and accessible (at least for the moment) antivirus program. Depending on which version of Malwarebytes you have a license for it may, or may not, be a straight antimalware program or a combination antivirus-antimalware program. The folks at Malwarebytes are claiming that version 3.0 "makes antivirus obsolete." Given their reputation and what I would presume is their desire to keep it I'd have to believe their marketing claims stand up in practice. -- Brian Is it progress if a cannibal uses knife and fork? ~ Stanislaw J.
