Re: Braille Printers suggestion
hello. The Index Braille Basic also has a network connection, so
you don't actually need a parallel or Serial to USB adapter if you have an
ethernet jack on your home network that is available. If you don't have
such a jack available, I suggest the Prolyphic USB to Serial adapter to
attach to the serial port of the printer. The Prolyphic adapters work with
Mac, Windows, Linux and other OS's, as well as having drivers that are
easily installed, if they're not already available when you plug it in.
Hope that helps.
-Brian

Re: Greetings and Kaspersky Total Security with JAWS
I agree. All I use now for security on windows 10 windows defender and windows firewall.
They perform as well or better than the third party options.
However there is no one single product which will protect you from anything or yourself.

Hello Glen:
I do not know where you got the idea that Microsoft were reluctant to
produce their own Antivirus software. If that was the case, why did they
produce Microsoft Essentials for Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7.
As far as I know, Windows Defender, including its Antivirus component, was
always going to be available as the default protection software, for
windows8, 8.1 and Windows 10.

I agree, I only use Microsoft's Defender, and I must say that it was long
over-due, Microsoft should have been protecting their system from the
start.
I think that they were getting into trouble with anti-trust suits like
with
it's Internet Explorer and other such programs that seemed to keep the
competition out, so MS was reluctant to make its own anti-virus program
for
fear that they were again killing off competition.

Re: Greetings and Kaspersky Total Security with JAWS
Your antivirus program is only as good as the one using it. If you're an idiot online, Caspersky will last about 10 minutes. If you know what you're doing, Windows Defender/MSSE and common sense is really all you need. The difference is your ability to pay attention. A shocking number of people tend to forget how to do that as soon as they stick themselves in front of anything electronic. Which, I mean, whatever works--it's those people that keep me employed.

JAWS as well as with NVDA. I can definitely confirm your findings.
I won't say much about using Kaspersky with NVDA since this is a
JAWS-specific list. However, the following link will take you to a
detailed review which I wrote discussing NVDA's performance with
Kaspersky.
<https://davidgoldfield.wordpress.com/2016/11/16/kaspersky-antivirus-a-review-for-screen-reader-users/>;When
using Kaspersky Antivirus with JAWS I have sometimes seen JAWS
being able to read the various controls as I navigate to them with
tab or shift-tab but this accessibility seemed to stop working
after a while. I am guessing this could have been due to a
Kaspersky program update but I cannot confirm this without
uninstalling it and reinstalling an earlier version which I
honestly don't wish to do. For now the tab key reads nothing and,
as you say, using the touch cursor is necessary when navigating in
the main window. If you access the program from the system tray
choosing the Settings or Task Manager options may be more
accessible with JAWS. I do feel that some scripting could solve
for many of these issues. Once I learn a little more about
scripting I am willing to try and write some Kaspersky scripts but
it's going to be a while before this can happen.

JAWS performs a hit song thanks to inaccessible document! -unencrypt
Good morning!
What happens when JAWS reads an inaccessible flyer? Well, sometimes a new hit song is discovered! Enjoy it here and laugh on this lovely Thursday:
https://twitter.com/neatwithadam/status/1235204761365999617?s=21
This video was made in an effort to spread awareness for digital accessibility yesterday, during National AT Awareness Day, and it has a lot of views! Today, I figured the audience it impacts most would enjoy it as well, so I wanted to pass it along.
Enjoy!

Re: Greetings and Kaspersky Total Security with JAWS
Dave,
Windows existed long before windows XP, and had no virus protection other
than third-party software.
And when it did start producing something, it was under par compared with
the third-party software.
Now it has gotten its act together, since Windows 7.

As far as I know, Windows Defender, including its Antivirus component, was

I agree, I only use Microsoft's Defender, and I must say that it was long
over-due, Microsoft should have been protecting their system from the
start.
I think that they were getting into trouble with anti-trust suits like
with
it's Internet Explorer and other such programs that seemed to keep the
competition out, so MS was reluctant to make its own anti-virus program
for
fear that they were again killing off competition.

Hi,
While I appreciate your feelings , the most recent Freedom Scientific
podcast stated that Windows Defender is very effective and the most
effective anti virus for most users. And Eric from Vespero said this
assumes
that you are not "doing something stupid" while surfing the net.
I have used Windows Defender and has done just fine. Now, nothing against
other anti virus programs but let's not trash Defender just based on
personal experiences or preferences.

Windows defender is not effective. A completely fiasco software. We know
that the first virus in computer history was written by Bill Gates. So why
do we trust Microsoft so much? Kaspersky says there is no such thing. They
even say we can show our source code. Despite this, I do not go and use an
antivirus that does nothing. Kaspersky also has a free antivirus.

work at all while I am in the PC Cursor mode. I have to use
the touch cursor to operate the software, and it is not always
convenient to use this specific cursor.
Moreover this behavior is very illogical to me, as KTS’s
interface seems to be standard WPF or something of that sorts.
Maybe I am doing something wrong (I’m pretty new to JFW, I use
it for less than a year).
Pozdrawiam,

Re: Automatically start the screen shade with Jaws
Hello,
You can use the layered keystroke Insert and Spacebar together, and then F11. THis is a toggle, so same keystrokes to turn it off. It is temporary, so if you restart your computer, screen shade will be off again.

Re: classic shell
Hi friend! I do not recommend Classic shell anymore. It broken my friend’s system once and I have said a big “thank you” to this prtogram. When I am configuring PCs for beginners I use Start Is Back. The program is symbolically paid but its worth it if someone is a fan of W7 start menu Pozdrawiam, Arkadiusz Świętnicki AKA. Nuno
