Patti,
As far as I know, the JAWS reveal cursor is just the JAWS cursor, found by
pressing the - key on the number key pad with the num lock turned off. I
have never found the close icon in this manner, and to get Avast to close,
you can simply restart your computer. You may have to disable Avast in the
start up items list to prevent it from starting automatically when your
computer boots up. If you need instruction on this, let me know. Otherwise,
just call Microsoft Accessibility Support and let them remove the program
for you. Then get yourself a good antivirus program. If you want free, AVG
is better than Avast, and you can run it with Malware Bytes free version for
even better protection.

Ok Mike what is the Jaws Review cursor, and how do you use it?
When Avast shows up, I can't close it. I did alt f4, alt spacebar, and
escape, and nothing works.
Running windows7, jaws 15.
Thanks
Patti

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Jaws not reading the close window icon
Hi list, I have just rejoined this list. So are looking forward to
improving my skills in using Jaws(even though I am a long time user of
it smile). I have been having several issues with Jaws since version
15. For example, I am currently using Jaws 16 on a Windows7 home
premium on a desktop computer. Starting with Jaws15, I have noticed
that Jaws will no longer speak to me the close icon at the top of any
programs or windows. I have confirmed with family members that the
icon is in fact showing. I have spoken to my local Freedom Scientific
distributor. But they just said. If it is there, than Jaws will read
it. But like I said, family members confirm that they can see it and
click on it. I do realize, that I can use the alt F4 command to close
a program or window. But I find that alt F4 does not always close
properly. So I like to be able to route Jaws to the PC cursor and then
left click on the close icon.
Has anybody else experienced this?
Thanks Jason
