Hi. I'm a fan of Avast, which you can acquire from www.avast.com. My main gripe with them is that, if you plan to use the program for over two months, registration is required, although the process is free. Registration does require the use of a video captcha which, last time I used it, has no audio text for blind users. However, the Avast support team is very good with promptly registering blind users and sending out the license codes. If you go this route, give the support team all of the information which the registration form asks such as name, city, etc. and indicate to them that you agree with the license terms. Once the program is installed, it is necessary to disable their skins in order for you to gain access to the program itself. You can do this by using insert f11, go to Avast, go to program settings, press enter and then tab until you see the options about skins. Press the spacebar to uncheck them and then press enter for OK. Avast has some odd names for things but, all in all, is a good program. It even runs on Windows 98, which I am still using at home.

Guess I asked my question in the subject line. I intend to purchase Nod32 soon but in the meantime I'm looking for something easy to install that will give me virus protection. I use Jaws 8 and Windows 2000. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
