Re: Does McAfee 4 work with JAWS?Hi all,

Beth and List Members:

While I agree with you, and use Nortons as well, Norton's and most of the rest have the same problem.

Most of the virus scanners have the same problem in varying dagrees, when they detect a virus, in order to protect your system, they freeze its operation. A A little text window pops up with some options, sort of like this, "we have detected the BLA BLA virus Clean, ignore, skipt etc. When this happens, since the system is virtually frozen, JFW will not speak, most of the time, The problem occurs when the virus shield detects a virus. Now, this isn't true when your simply scanning for a virus, if 1 is detected, I don't think the system will freeze. As far as I know, the only virus scanner that won't do this is something like AntiViral Toolkit. I haven't personally used this, however, vary reliable sources tell me it works with speech. Unless something new has developed recently, this is the only 1 that don't freeze your system.

Hi, all. I use Virus Scan on my machine at work and Norton Antivirus here at home, neither of which have caused any problem with JAWS.
