Subject: Avast website and set up directions Hi, go to www.avast.com. Hope that helps. Subject: [JAWS-Users] Making Avast More Accessible Hi all, please accept my apologies for the duplicate posts, however I feel that the more people that get the below instructions, the better. So here we go. Hi all, do the following two things to make Avast more accessible. Configuring Avast to not use the skins for the simple user interface: 1. Start Avast. 2. Wait for the memory test to be completed, then close the web page that appears. You should now land on a dummy check box. 3. Press the applications key to open a context menu, down arrow to settings and press enter. The Programme Settings dialogue box appears, with the categories tree gaining focus. 4. Tab until you hear, "enable skins for simple user interface check box checked". Press space to uncheck it. 5. Tab to ok and press enter. You'll land back on the dummy check box. 6. Close and restart Avast. You should now be able to tab through the controls in this programme. Configuring JAWS to read lists in Avast: 1. Make sure that you're focused on the Avast Simple User Interface. 2. Press JAWS key 6 to open Configuration Manager. 3. Press enter to accept the New Configuration File dialogue box. 4. Press alt s to open the set options menu, then press a. The advanced Options dialogue box appears. 5. Shift tab till you hear, "Rely on MSAA for List Views check box not checked". Press space to check it. 6. Press enter to activate the ok button. 7. Either press control s to save your configuration file immediately, or press alt F4, pressing enter to activate the yes button on the confirm dialogue box. By doing these steps, you'll resolve an issue on some machines whereby JAWS stops speaking when focused on any of the lists in Avast. Hi, for a complete scan, check all local disks, check archives, move the slider to 100% (thorough scan), and click start. Hope that helps. Hi all, please don't worry about messages like that. It just means that Avast couldn't scan the files in that archive because it was password protected. What you can do is tab to the action button, hit space on that, arrow to delete, press enter, ensure that delete file(s) permanently is checked, activate the delete button, enter on that, and the results should refresh with the new data. Don't worry; I don't think it deletes the archives found to have been "locked", but I'm not sure about that one. I'll check this out. Hope that helps. ----- Original Message ----- From: "stewart ross" <stewartr...@sky.com> To: <jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com> Sent: Tuesday, March 17, 2009 4:21 AM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] anti-virus software compatible with JAWS hi can u tell me if there step by step details on how to use this software and how to turn off the skins? many thanks from stewart ross tune in to http://laserhothits.servemp3.com:8130/listen.pls email stewartr...@sky.com msn stewart-r...@hotmail.co.uk skype stewartross ----- Original Message ----- From: "Stanley Smith" <ssm...@mastnet.net> To: <jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com> Sent: Thursday, March 05, 2009 9:20 AM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] anti-virus software compatible with JAWS >I use Avast! 4 Home Edition and it works quite well with Jaws once you turn > the skins for the simple user interface off. > Stanley > > > Visit the JAWS Users List home page at: > http://www.jaws-users.com > Visit the Blind Computing home page at: > http://www.blind-computing.com > Address for the list archives: > http://www.mail-archive.com/jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com > To post to this group, send email to > jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com > To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to > jaws-users-list-le...@jaws-users.com > For help from Mailman with your account Put the word help in the subject > or body of a blank message to: > jaws-users-list-requ...@jaws-users.com > Use the following address in order to contact the management team > jaws-users-list-ow...@jaws-users.com > If you wish to join the Blind Computing list send a blank email to the > following address: > blind-computing-j...@jaws-users.com Visit the JAWS Users List home page at: http://www.jaws-users.com Visit the Blind Computing home page at: http://www.blind-computing.com Address for the list archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com To post to this group, send email to jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to jaws-users-list-le...@jaws-users.com For help from Mailman with your account Put the word help in the subject or body of a blank message to: jaws-users-list-requ...@jaws-users.com Use the following address in order to contact the management team jaws-users-list-ow...@jaws-users.com If you wish to join the Blind Computing list send a blank email to the following address: blind-computing-j...@jaws-users.com Visit the JAWS Users List home page at: http://www.jaws-users.com Visit the Blind Computing home page at: http://www.blind-computing.com Address for the list archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com To post to this group, send email to jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to jaws-users-list-le...@jaws-users.com For help from Mailman with your account Put the word help in the subject or body of a blank message to: jaws-users-list-requ...@jaws-users.com Use the following address in order to contact the management team jaws-users-list-ow...@jaws-users.com If you wish to join the Blind Computing list send a blank email to the following address: blind-computing-j...@jaws-users.com
