Re: [JAWS-Users] How to download kindle book on PC's hard drive using JAWS
I have also have had a problem with Kindle for PC using Windows 10. According to the Amazon web site when this occurred a few months back I could not get the Kindle for PC app to read properly. According to the web site and a follow up conversation with an Amazon representative it appears that Kindle for PC has not been updated for versions of Windows later than Windows 7. Other than getting suggestions to purchase an IPhone I haven't gotten any other usable suggestions to use this app. Chuck -Original Message- From: Dujari, Prateek Sent: Monday, March 14, 2016 9:04 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] How to download kindle book on PC's hard drive usingJAWS Hello gang.

Re: [JAWS-Users] AVG Virus protection
The AVG Secure Search is a toolbar that can be removed. Depending on your operating system it should be shwon in your programs as a separate program or in your toolbars that you can disable or remove. You don't need it.

Re: [JAWS-Users] AVG Virus protection
I have been using the paid version of AVG for several years now. It is reasonably JAWS friendly although there are times when I have to use the JAWS cursor to read details. While it works its accessibility is not quite as good as in previous versions. However I have been very satisfied with the results of the program. I am using it with the latest version of JAWS and Windows 8.1.

if they did it was quite a while since JAWS 16 has been released for several weeks now.
