Jaws And Anti-virus
|
Tom Behler
Hello, everyone.
You may recall that, a few days ago, I was having trouble with a program on my computer running in the background, and interfering with Jaws. Originally, I thought the problem was with Java. Apparently, the problem was not with Java, but was with the latest version of the AVG anti-virus software. I think the version number is AVG 15. Last night, an AVG update occurred, which literally made Jaws totally unusable. I've now completely uninstalled AVG, and Jaws works perfectly. Has anyone else had this problem with AVG, and if so, how did you deal with it? If AVG is not the most Jaws-friendly anti-virus program to be using with Jaws, does someone have recommendations for a more Jaws-friendly anti-virus program? I'd prefer to stick with free anti-virus software if possible. Any help would be appreciated, since I am not comfortable running this computer without anti-virus software. For the record, I'm using Jaws 14 on this windows 7 computer. Dr. Tom Behler from Michigan -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I've heard of the name, but recollect that it was prone to triggering false positives for things that were be nine and lacked screen reader accessibility. that was some time ago but I don't know if it has changed for the better. I heard it is accessible with NVDA but don't know to what extent.

I don't remember any accessibility problems, but it once quarantined my volume control! I discontinued using it when I began experiencing update problems, but would consider trying it again.

most antivirus programs, it does not use a lot of computer resources. Consequently, it doesn't impact overall system performance. The only problem is that it has recently become inaccessible because it no longer runs in a normal window. Fortunately, I don't have to mess with its interface, as it seems to block potential threats automatically. -----Original Message-----

Yes. Avira does a good job at blocking.
