Re: [JAWS-Users] [Bulk] JAWS crashing when using internet explorer
Hi Guys, Why don't you roll back your IE version to I E 10 and see if it still keeps crashing using JAWS. The next thing I would do is called the Microsoft Disability help line and see what they say.

[JAWS-Users] List Guidelines Reminder
Hello and welcome to the JAWS Users list! This list has been created for The purpose of discussing all aspects of the JAWS for Windows screen reader Program. So everything that pertains to JAWS is fair game. Such as asking about what software packages work well with JAWS or how to make them work even better with scripts, keyboard short cuts and so forth. Another example could be requesting information on how to do something in Microsoft Word, which as we all know works very well with JAWS, but you need to know how to do a certain task or want to learn a way to accomplish it more efficiently. Now this is a very important point in my opinion, asking the list for exact instructions every time is not a good thing to do for a major reason. It creates a dependency situation even if you don't realize it does. The ideal place I am hoping the list will arrive at some day is that everybody no matter how new they might happen to be with JAWS or computers will have the confidence to try things on their own, and yet feel if they get stuck the list will be there to help put them back on track. Trust me when I say that help is quicker to arrive for somebody who is well known to ask for it last than first. So try it yourself first whatever it is. If you get stuck then let the list know what you've done to try and resolve your current dilemma. Then I'm sure help will arrive with in short order. Next a post asking if there is a software package that does a specific task and works well with JAWS is perfectly fine. The rules of conduct are quite simple and straightforward. Be polite and Patient with others. There will be absolutely no fighting, and no bashing of Freedom Scientific on here at all. If you have a problem with them then I suggest you take it up with Freedom Scientific directly. Please try to keep subject lines relevant and descriptive as possible. Also any newsletters except those that directly pertain to JAWS should not be posted to the list prior to receiving moderator approval. Attachments are removed before any message is sent to the list. This is done for your protection. The message list might state that there is an attachment but in fact Mailman does remove them. When contacting any of the list moderators privately please be descriptive in the subject line as to the purpose of the message. Many of us simply delete messages from people we don't know. At the present time there are over 650 subscribers to this list, so we can't possibly know everybody on here. Also, if you have a question for the list that falls within the guidelines, then post it accordingly. Don't contact the management team with questions that are more appropriate for the list itself. Your question may or may not receive an answer for a number of reasons. Everybody should familiarize themselves with the content contained in the footer message that accompanies every message posted to the list. Occasionally there might be some difficulty with your email address and you may receive an email from the Mailman program asking you to reactivate your account. Please do not simply delete this message. Instead open it and follow the directions to reactivate your account. If you do not after receiving a number of such messages then the Mailman program will remove your email address automatically.

This means that goods and or services will not be bought or sold using this forum. If you know a given subject is off topic then don't post it. Simply placing off topic in the subject line does not make it all right. Cross-posting is not permitted, and members should only post in the following manner: Using the TO: field with only one list address. The SUBJECT: field should be short and to the point without including any member names. The reason for this is that in cases where people setup their message rules to go by the to: field often times such rules get fouled up and in effect do not work properly. Also cross posting might allow you to reach many lists at the same time but the fact is such a post might not be on topic for each and every list. This practice does nothing but clutter up such lists with unwanted off topic messages along with annoying the list moderators.

I previously posted this, but it may not have gone through. So, I modified the subject line so as not to hijack the thread. I use a different piece of software than Malware Bytes which is much more effective. It as AdwCleaner and it is totally accessible with Jaws, as well as with other screen readers. I do some tech support, and it cleaned up a client's computer that was seriously infected with spyware including browser hijacks. My wife also tried it on her computer that seemed to freeze occasionally, and it resolved those issues. This is one of the recommended programs for attacking some forms of spyware and malware on BleepingComputer.com. Here is my brief tutorial on its usage: I thought I'd submit a post about an outstanding malware removal program that is extremely accessible. It is called Adwcleaner. I used version 4.106. I tried it about ten days ago on my computer and found a couple things. My wife had an issue with her computer freezing when doing downloads, and she used this program this morning and it corrected the issue. I have a client who had issues with several pieces of spyware such as global updater, groovorio, roboot, and many more that could not be nuked with MalwareBytes or a couple different anti-virus programs. This person had over sixty browser helper objects in Firefox, and these same programs that ran in Internet Explorer were listed in various places in the registry, under program folders and scheduled tasks. It identified over 155 different registry keys, and over thirty folders with malware. Adwcleaner opens with a simple screen layout. Under the actions menu, you first hit the Scan button. It will take a few minutes to scan. On the results screen, there are several tabs. These are tabs for each browser (firefox, Internet explorer, google chrome if you have it), plus tabs for files, folders, registry, scheduled tasks etc. Under each tab, you can tab into the list of items it has identified. If you don't want to clean an item, just uncheck it as you arrow down through the culprits. Once you've reviewed everything, go back to the actions area and hit the Clean button. It will warn you to make sure you've saved data from your other applications as it will close all programs. When it says it will close all programs--believe it! It means it! It closes everything, including your screen-reader. Suggestion: Make sure you have a shortcut installed so you can bring your screen reader back up about ten seconds after it closes. When you bring your screen reader up again, it will tell you it needs to reboot to finish the process. When it reboots, you will be in a notepad log file showing what it was able to remove. The log file will also be saved, along with the quarantine folder, under your root directory. You can download AdwCleaner at https://toolslib.net/downloads/finish/1/ Steve Lansing, MI - Original Message - From: LeDon To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Saturday, December 27, 2014 6:15 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Malware bytes Hey there, mike, I have never used malware bytes or anything like it before.

As far as I can see the above procedure addresses the issue that you have raised. *** Open IE 10, click Help, click About Internet Explorer, uncheck the 'Install new versions automatically' box. This (I hope) prevents IE 11 from returning. Take care.

Sort of what I thought. Why do they have to mess with things that are working well? Appreciate your validation of my assumptions. Happy New Year!

If you want to disable Tab browsing, uninstall IE11 install IE10 or, if you had IE10 previously , uninstalling IE11 will take you back to IE10. HTH Take care.

Never thought of that. Works like a charm, but now I wonder if you can step over to your iEasyChair and tell me how to disable Tabs browsing in IE 11? Perhaps a registry change?

So, go to Tools / Options / General Tab, Home Page Field Type the following: about:blank and then select Apply OK to save the changes. Take care.

I like having it open with a blank page, and would prefer having separate windows open, rather than dealing with tabs.
