Hello Everyone,

It looks like my company is going to replace the Symantec antivirus software they currently have on our laptops with Trend Micro antivirus software.

I have had some bad experiences in the past with JAWS and some of these antivirus packages.

Has anyone had any experience with having this software on their computers?  Does it block JAWS from doing anything?

Thanks for any responses.

Pam

Hi

I've used Trend for a number of years. Whilst as Tom says, the notifications
n recieved are readable, I've found navigating around the actual console not
very usable. I've raised this every year with Trend however they don't seem
to have made much change in the accessibility aspect. I continue to use it
because its been a very good protection tool. Happy to here from others if
they have had different experiences. Be prepared to use the JAWS cursor,
PictureSmart and other  features a bit.

Thank you all for your feedback.

Outside of using the Trend console itself, does it cause any disruption with using JAWS?

Thanks again.

Pamela:

As I think I said the other day, I find that Trend Micro does occasionally cause some disruptions when using Jaws, but the disruptions have been minimal compared to what used to happen with the older Norton Antivirus, for example.

Most of the time, the program runs in the background with no negative effects.  Plus, I’m told when a scan is about to start so I can prepare if needed.
