From what I've been reading, Avast is doing a better job. I have actually found things with Avast, that MSE has failed to detect.

Re: System image and anti-virus software for Windows 8
Lisle, Ted (CHFS DMS)
This good old machine is a desktop. They have some of the world's poorest tech support, but I guess you don't need tech support when the thing just keeps perking along. The only way I know about the tech support was I had some questions early in the game, one of which they were able to answer, and the other of which I found on my own, quite by accident--great hardware, though.

http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03481733&lc=en&cc=us&dl c=en#N91 It is the procedure to backup system files on an HP laptop and I'm pretty sure it will give you an idea what you would be in for. As for Windows Defender, it is the same as Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE). It's not a bad program and it is built in to windows 8 whereas MSE was a separate program for prior versions of Windows. It's better than nothing, but I would definitely try to find a better security suite since the reviews of Windows Defender are quite mixed.

down. I just bought an hp laptop and just backed up my system files for just such an emergency. I'm trying to think of the utility I used and as soon as I find it, I'll let you know. It worked just fine; I had to use the Jaws cursor to navigate a bit but as soon as the process started, it worked just fine. As far as a virus protection system, I'm currently using Avast which has some small issues but in general works fine with little if at all any user intervention. If I can help further, let me know.

Re: MSE and JAWS
Mike B. <mb69mach1@...>
Hi Bill,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
Below is a MSSE navigation guide I've saved: Because list members ask, from time to time, how to work with Microsoft Security Essentials, I have provided a quick guide. I don't discuss every quirk you will find as you look around and there are some settings I don't explain but this is enough material to give you most of the knowledge you need to work with the program and is more than enough to allow you to start using it as a beginning user. To begin, let's find a good place to start working from in the interface.. You may not wish to do this as you gain experience using the program but for now, after you open the program, tab to the home button. Now tab through the items until you return to the home button. Pay close attention to the structures your screen-reader tells you you are in. For example, the first item will be a radio button that will indicate the kind of scan that will be performed. If you want to perform a different kind of scan, use the up and down arrows to select a different radio button. Continuing to tab will place you on a scan now button and a change my scan schedule link. You will then return to the home button. You can now either left or right arrow from button to button. Once you get back to the home button, you can go through all the buttons again. In other words, either right or left arrowing will move you through all the buttons as many times as you wish. You don't have to press the space bar on these buttons. Moving to them causes the screen to change and items related to the button you move to will be displayed. You get from the button to the items by tabbing. For example, if you right arrow once from the home button, you will be on a button that says update. To perform an update, tab once to another button that says update. You will also hear alt u announced as the short cut. this is the only item you can work with. If you tab again, you will be returned to the first update button again. So, if you want to update the definitions, and perhaps the program would update as well, you would tab to the update button that takes the action and press the space bar. for now, tab back to the button that says update and does not say alt u. You are now back on the buttons we have been working with. Right arrow once. You are now on a button that says history. If you tab you will get to radio buttons that determine what will be shown. I haven't had any items removed or detected from scans I've done so I haven't been able to review the history. Down arrow through the items to see what they are. It appears to me that you may have to move to an item if you want to change what is displayed, then use the JAWS cursor or the Mouse Pointer in Window-eyes or equivalent in other screen-readers to review the screen. I'm not sure about that, however. If you ever get lost, leave the virtual mouse if your screen-reader requires this to return to the application cursor, then tab until you get back to the history button. Return to the history button now and right arrow to the next button. You are now on the settings button. Tab once. You are in a list. Don't do anything in the list yet. Tab once and you will see a check box you can change that applies to the first setting you were on. Continue to tab back to the list. Down arrow once. Tab and you will see items related to the item you moved to in the list. You can down arrow through the items and tab around to see the available settings for each item in the list. Unless you understand the settings, don't change them. One thing you will see is a cancel button. Unless you have made changes, you can just tab until you get to the settings button again and move to another button. If you haven't changed anything, canceling is not necessary, just moving to a different button will leave the settings as they were. Now, tab back to the settings button and move to the right. You are on a help button. It may be that you need to be connected to the Internet for this button to do anything. My computer running Microsoft Security Essentials is not connected to the Internet now and moving to this button doesn't do anything. You can look around on your computer to see what happens. the same is true for the next button to the right, which is named something like additional help options. Right arrowing again returns you to the home button, where you started. When you are on the home button, you can use your screen-reader's read status line command to hear when the last scan was conducted and what kind of scan it was. If you move the JAWS cursor or equivalent to the bottom of the screen and move up the screen somewhat, you will see a line of text telling you when the last definitions were created. In other words, you can hear how current your definitions are. Remember that if you get confused as to where you are, tabbing will return you to the row of buttons that stretch across the screen from left to right, the home, update history, settings, etc. buttons we have been working with. Whether you have to tab one time or perhaps four times, you will get there so you can't get very lost in the program. Take care. Mike This email was sent from my, iGasSucking460Powered1969Mach1!

A friend of mine has MSE, and it showed a couple of threats, and offered a clean button. But we couldn't find out which files were considered the threats. Does anyone know how to inquire of MSE which files are the threats with JAWS? Also, how does one navigate to the settings tab of MSE? Thank you.

From: Jfw [mailto:jfw-bounces@...] On Behalf Of Mike Mote Sent: Tuesday, June 4, 2013 9:53 PM To: The Jaws for Windows support mailing list Subject: A peculiar issue connecting to my wireless network with my work computer. Hi folks. I'm having a strange issue connecting to my wireless network. That is when I have the security enabled. My work computer refuses to connect to it. When I hit connect, I get the option to click on the troubleshooting link. Doing this does not resolve the issue. It is a windows 7 system, and I'm using JAWS 13. I do not believe this is a JAWS issue, but since the blind computing list is gone, I didn't know where else to post my question. I wondered if anyone could tell me what setting/settings I need to check, so that my computer will connect to the network. Again, when I remove the security feature, and just leave the network open, it connects to that, without a problem. It happens when I enable my security, and try to type in my security key. Very weird! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

System image and anti-virus software for Windows 8
Niall Gallagher
Hi Everyone,
I am looking for a system image /backup and anti virus software solution compatible with JAWS and Windows 8. I have asked people who recommended Norton Ghost, but on investigation it is not compatible with Windows 8. Also, I have used Avast in the past for a anti virus solution, so I'm just curious is there anything better? I am seeking this information because I am purchasing a new laptop for my Masters programme and I want to future proof it. Any information /suggestions are very welcome. Kind regards, Niall Sent from my iPhone
