A V TG question

ptusing <ptusing@...>
Hi,
I realize AVG does not work with JAWS 18. Does the latest versions of AVG still work with JAWS 16 or 17 with Windows 7? The phone numberfor people to complain to AVG is 844 259 8811. Many thanks. |

Were I to be calling AVG what I'd complain about, long before accessibility issues with JAWS or anything else, would be the fact that it has developed the very nasty habit of finding false positive after false positive after false positive for things that are not threats. AVG was once my absolute favorite antivirus/security suite. That ended about 2 years ago when this hypersensitivity began exhibiting itself and it has remained unabated, possibly gotten worse, since then. I can't count how many "remove and replace" operations I've done for my existing clients when something else comes up so that the endless messages that make them panic for no reason stop. Brian |

I am not sure if this has been dealt with but you can now get JAWS 18 to work with AVG. I resolved this issue both with Freedom Scientific and AVG and am now using it. You need to go in to the virus vault in AVG and make JAWS 18 or the Freedom Scientific folders an exception. If you call the tech support for AVG they will do a remote session and do this for you if you aren't sure how to do it. you can call them at 1-844-259-8811 in the U.S. or else you can use their on line chat. Their support people are excellent and very easy to work with.

I am just curious here, but why not just use the virus protection that comes with Windows? I have 5 PC's at my retail store and my laptop at home, ever since Microsoft offered Security Essentials for Windows 7 (probably 6 or 8 years ago) I stopped using ESET which was what I had before and I never have any issues. I keep my Windows updated and use common sense when I get emails with attachments or other phishing emails and that seems to work just fine.
