It is quite easy to work with MSSE. To find the settings button, open MSSE.
Find the home button by tabbing, or shift tab once from the quick scan radio button in the scan options. When you are on the home button, you can press right arrow to go into the other options in MSSE like Settings, History, Update, etc. Under settings, one of the options is to turn off active protection. If you do that, you can run a different anti-virus program. You don't have to uninstall MSSE completely. Remember though, with any anti-virus program, you can't run any other anti-virus program at the same time. This doesn't count things like malware bytes which is a malware program unless you have their security suite.

Unfortunately it might require sighted assistance since I could not find a settings button and clicking on real time protection with the Jaws cursor on the MSE home page does nothing using Jaws 16 in windows 7. From PC World However, I recently needed to troubleshoot a program that wasn't working properly, and, as always, the tech support department's first suggestion was to "disable my antivirus program." Normally I ignore this advice, but because the program in question involves a lot of file downloading from various protected servers, I thought it might actually be worth a try. Just one catch: How the heck do you disable Security Essentials? When you open the tool, there's no immediately obvious way. But if you absolutely need to, here's how: 1. Find the Security Essentials icon in your System Tray (usually it's represented by a little green house with a flag on top). Right-click it and choose Open. 2. Click the Settings tab. 3. Click Real-time protection. 4. Uncheck the box next to Turn on real-time protection (recommended). 5. Click the Save changes button. So that's the equivalent of switching Security Essentials to "off." Do that, then go back to whatever you're trying to troubleshoot and see if it solves the problem. (If it does, well, that's a whole other can of worms.) -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Mario Brusco Sent: Monday, March 02, 2015 7:34 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] panda antivirus MSE will have to be thoroughly uninstalled (as well as others) before trialing NOD32. also, I heard version 7 is more screen reader friendly than 8.

I am currently using MSE on a windows 7 64 bit computer with Jaws 16. If I wanted to download a trial version of ESET NOD32 Antivirus would I first have to remove MSE or could both be on the computer at the same time?

I remove MSE. It did not do anything. I found that I had many, many malware and virus and MSE told me that my PC was protected.

I use MSE and it’s good, but I’m looking for others just in case microsoft decides to retire MSE! I heard panda is compatible with jaws but that was a long time ago. Email is golden!!!
