Hi.
Yes, there used to be a way of doing this, but they changed the
interface in avast 5. there maybe a skins option somewhere still, but i
haven't found it yet, i'll keep the list posted if i do find one. The
only thing you are able to do is turn off graphical affects which may
help, that's in the general section of settings, i've got mine turned on
though and it appears to work fine.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Avast 5.94 now fully accessible!
Hi All.
Thanks to roger for tipping me off about this! Avast 5.0.594 now
seems to be fully accessible with screen readers. progress bars are
now spoken, as well as all of the interface. scans are now read out
in realtime as they should be, providing the user with information
you'd probably have had to use the jaws curser for. pressing tab and
shift tab seems to be sufficient to navigate, in other words using
standard navigational keystrokes gets you to the information you want
to reach. the only flaw i've noticed is the settings dialogue, for
screen reader users its read out correctly, but the tabs aren't
immediately noticeable. you have to press space on the settings
button, then tab, then shift tab until jaws doesn't say anything when
shift tab is pressed e.g tab, gaming mode. shift tab, gaming mode
settings. shift tab. when jaws says shift tab only, scrole up twice
with the arrows and this should get you to where the tabs are, from
there you have access to over 10 different tabs to finely customize
avast settings including the look, sounds, scans, etc.
feeling brave? most of you will already have the opportunity to
update via the program interface its self, rightclick your avast
icon, click on update, then program update. but for those of you that
have not got it installed or don't want to use the system tray
method, here's a download link to the free anti virus program. it is
not necissary to install the chrome web browser, so click no when you
are asked to install.

Thanks all for reading.
