AVG does that too.

Don't worry. MSE will alert you when it detects a malicious threat. This
happened to me last week. I tried to link to a web page from the Google
search results page, and MSE instead prompted me with a warning that a
trojan called Cyber Security was attempting to install itself on my PC. I
was presented with a dialog with an option to learn more details about
this threat and and a Clean Computer button to remove it immediately. Of
course, I hit the Clean Computer button, and the trojan was banished from
my PC. So whenever MSE detects a threat, you will certainly know about
it, even though there is no warning sound like in other anti-virus
programs.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Installing MSE
Mike & Gerald,
I changed the subject line to reflect the change in focus.
Thanks, got the file downloaded ok and will shoot for
tomorrow evening. In reading the article, sounds like some
of the notifications etc are done by changing colors etc,
not great for us blind folk. For those that have installed,
are their audio prompts when a virus or issue is discovered
that requires one to do something? For instance with Avast,
which I currently have, their is an audio message when the
product updates and a loud alarm when it finds a potential
threat. Any other useful hints anyone has prior to me
installing MSE?
thanks
Al

Hi Alan,
This is from another email list.
Don't bother with the MS web site, Instead, visit the web
site below and
arrow down to the three links in the body of the article to
download MSE.
Select
the link appropriate for your OS, and your download will
start immediately.
As long as you have a genuine copy of Windows, the set-up
and installation
should be a breeze. There is no captcha, registration or
special
configuration settings to deal with.

Gerald,
I have been contemplating switching to MSE but still have
Avast. When you click on the link you discuss, does it
download the file as an executable file you can keep on your
computer and then launch and install when ready or does it
simply download and install the current version from the
website? The reason I ask is I would have to uninstall Avast
first and would not want to do that and then have to go out
on the web unprotected to download MSE
thanks
Al
