[JAWS-Users] AVG killed JAWS
Hello Gang: A VA rep installed AVG 2015 on a desktop and laptop in the past few days. JAWS was killed on both computers. Is that a problem with AVG 2015? Or, were we suppose to tell AVG to leave JAWS alone? Neither she nor I did that. And, I received no prompts asking if there were to be any exceptions to the A V G doing its job. So, who screwed up.us or A V G? If it was us, how do I solve the problem, if I put A V G back on the computers? Thanks.

I got the free version and yes it did it to me 2 times. The first time I was able to get FS to help me change it back. They told me AVG does sometimes change jaws to demo. Last time it happen agan but lucky for me When I remove AVG and restarted my PC jaws came up and I was able to authorize it again.

I'd be curious as to which version of AVG was installed. If they installed a trial of AVG Internet Security I could see that messing with Jaws. In particular, the firewall could be blocking Jaws from running, in which case you would probably have to pull up Narrator to find this out. This assumes that Narrator can read the dialog box presented by AVG. Jaws works for reading the boxes, but NVDA for example has problems.

Re: [JAWS-Users] AVG killed JAWS
It is AVG Internet Security(not the free version), and they installed it with my permission. I talked to an FS rep today, and he said that we should have made JAWS an exception, when the AVG was installed. Apparently, there is a way to do that. I have no experience in installing anti-virus software. I think what we will do is re-install AVG, and go through the steps to make Freedom Scientific software an exception. So, it sounds like there is plenty of blame to go around, including the VA rep and me. Thanks for your valuable input.

[JAWS-Users] AVG vs. Avira: Which Is More JAWS Friendly?
For those of you who have tried both AVG and Avira, which of these two free real-time anti-virus programs is the most JAWS-friendly? I'm considering one of these programs as a replacement for MSE because support for the XP version will supposedly be discontinued next month, meaning that the database definitions will no longer be updated. Note that I am more interested in program accessibility and ease of use than in relative superiority of anti-virus protection. Thanks.

Gerald, I have been using the free version of Avast with good success. They constantly update the software and Avast automatically downloads new virus definitions when they are available. The interface is good but requires that the Jaws cursor be used at times. A built-in voice warns you when a threat is detected.

Re: [JAWS-Users] AVG vs. Avira: Which Is More JAWS Friendly?
John: I'm very encouraged to know that Avast seems to work well for you with Jaws. I say this because, as you may recall, I'm working with Freedom Scientific Tech Support on a problem I'm having with my home Windows 7 PC in terms of not being able to enter text into edit fields when on the internet. One of the FS tech support people I worked with last week thought Avast was contributing to my problem, so I uninstalled it. Unfortunately, the problem still persisted. I was quite happy with Avast, and would like to reinstall it as my anti-virus program once I get my text entry problem solved.

Re: [JAWS-Users] AVG Virus protection
I never had it when I ran under XP; it began after I acquired my Win 7 platform in December, 2013. It could be 7, it could be some quirk between the program and my hardware, but I experienced the problem for more than a year. One thing to watch for, though: if you remove AVG then restore, you'll get it back, and then you have a problem!

Re: [JAWS-Users] AVG Virus protection
No, not if you go with on-line scanners that are recommended by IT magazines. You won't get a recommendation from a professional to sites that scam people like that. There are a few other good on-line sites, but I use Sophos. It updates when you open it and runs a complete scan. There are some other sites that you can get a link and run from your flash-drive in safe mode. Of course, this isn't doable with Jaws, but it can be done with a registry hack using other screen readers.

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.

If you do a lot of file-sharing particularly on torrent sites, practice other stupid habits like opening links from unknown emails, not checking shortened links with a link examining program like http://longurl.org/ and open unexpected atta chments, you are more likely to encounter a virus. Secondly, some anti-virus programs find a lot more things they identify as viruses that aren't; these are known as false positives. Look on the web for third-party virus testing labs that often rank the effectiveness of both paid and free anti-virus programs. If you do some of the questionable practices noted above, you'll want a very good program with advanced heuristics; you may even put up with one that may score higher on false positives. As I've stated before, I value accessibility and something that isn't a hog on system resources. I feel comfortable using MSSE and feel comfortable recommending it to my customers unless I know they are or tend to engage in riskier activities. Take my advice, I don't use it anyway.

The free version of Malware Bytes does not provide real time protection, but the Pro or paid version does.

[JAWS-Users] AVG Virus protection
I am not sure what you are going with. So when I talk about AVG or any protection on my computer it is Professional level. Be advised? Why? All programs have their issues. For example I was running, AVG, Super ANTI-Spyware and Malware... The hacker got through my home base computer and planted a couple of bugs. Lucky for me I did see that each of these programs were not really up-dating. I went to a recommended Company in Arizona called My Computer Works. Where one can purchase a one time or membership and get their full protection and set up with them. Anyway... These people informed me not wise to run the three at one time. Even with the Tara byte drive and a large amount of Ram memory So I have AVG Professional. David the list owner is a pretty great person in setting this up if you need too and he or Rick can do a hook-up to your computer and walk you through. In purchasing this you will get a e-mail from them and Don't lose IT! One has all the information you need to get set up. Two is that once set up a good Idea that you set up through the program a web-account with them. If you lose the e-mail, this way just go to your account and put in your e-mail and password and click on your account. All the information is there. You can even renew from there. Both this and the setup is pretty easy with the regular jaws and the PC Curser, if I have the terms right. Right David and Rick? What I did is have it set for Automatic up-date and most of the time your jaws, above Jaws 14 latest will read their information. Before that it was the PC Curser for me. David can tell you more clear in tech terms on the things that should be checked and what should not be checked. I do know you want to make sure of two things. One make sure it is covering in and out-going mail. Two is that in scanning the computer as set for Time each day or every other day, make sure it is scanning your entire computer. Now for Malware I have Malware Pro and Malware Premium I bought the second as that covers the latest of two different programs that I have. Just a added security and according to My Computer Works, That one is doing its job nicely!! As in Microsoft Outlook Office Email, 2013 it found 4 issues since reset up after the Hacker crash.. I am questioning if it is worth the money and between myself and My Computer Works, I'll make up my mind if to renew that one. I would agree Malware Professional and that has been up-graded is worth the money!! The other is what is a person comfortable with. I found out nothing is full proof. As a friend of mine has a What he thought a secure Web-site He was just hacked two days ago. I am not the smartest cookie when it comes to the computer but ask a lot of questions and then what I don't know find a reliable company and stick with them. Oh yes, My Computer Works is 100% American ... That may not be a issue with some. I am still getting calls from people that say they are Microsoft specialist and we see you have issues. All I can say is learn the program and be safe!

Re: [JAWS-Users] AVG Virus protection
It is not as good as some other programs, but it misses a lot of threats is hyperbole. If you're concerned about it, use a spyware program like MalwareBytes along with it.

Re: [JAWS-Users] AVG Virus protection
Interesting you say that about missing threats. I worked on a computer at my church which had over 100 viruses on it and Microsoft Security Essentials didn't pick up any of them. According to MSE, the computer was fully protected. AVG found and removed all of them. As to being a hog, it may not be one when it is running in the background but it sure takes a long time compared to AVG to do a whole computer scan.

Re: [JAWS-Users] AVG Free MalwareBites Free
Mister Rivard, Now, that I have your name straight, because River and Rivard sound the same when jaws is reading fast. Hitman Pro is one of the Mallware Microsoft Accessibility uses to remove Mallware on the clients who calls their numver. I downloaded the Hitman Pro free for 30 days and if, I like it I'll buy the pro for $24.99, same price if, you would buy the Mywarebytes pro, unless you bought the Thanksgiving special offer for $15.

Proceed with caution. It is my understanding from people on other lists that the latest version of AVG anti-virus free edition is not very accessible with JAWS. If you do go ahead and install it. please let us know how JAWS friendly it is. If you are looking for a free anti-virus program that may be more JAWS friendly, consider Microsoft Security Essentials.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Avg anti-virus
Hi Group, I have a personal opinion on these free anti-virus software's. I have use them many years ago. So don't jump back on my case if you don't agree. I have had a friend use this AVG and a virus took over his pc. I know this can happen with any anti-virus but I feel the free ones are not that good and you get what you pay for. If you go and check out the reviews on this free anti-virus software you will find most of them put the free ones at the bottom of the list. I feel all my information I keep on my pc is worth a lot more than trying to save a few bucks on using free anti-virus software that does not protect very well. If you get a virus on your pc and it cannot be fix then you have to restore the whole pc and that could cost 80 to 100 bucks and your info is all lost if you don't have it backed up. Plus you have to spend hours resetting up your pc the way you like it and getting all the JAWS setting put back in. I go on to Amazon and I have found Norton for three pc for around 20 bucks. I also found on Amazon a Norton antivirus for five bucks. I do this by trying to purchase last year anti-virus. By using last year's anti-virus you still get all the latest update files and are still protected as good as using the new version. Also by using last year's Norton a lot of times after I install it Norton lets me update to the new version free. So before you jump my bones I am not saying Norton is the best anti-virus software I am just telling you how I save some money on purchasing it. That is just my two cents worth. Any comments on this is welcomed as to how accessible it is with Jaws.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Avg anti-virus
Norton? Most blind folks on other lists who have tried it claim that it is not very JAWS accessible, not to mention that it is a resource hog. And using an outdated version of an anti-virus program could be potentially riskier than having no anti-virus protection at all, because it may not be capable of recognizing the most current malware threats, and thus lull you into a false sense of security. It is never a good idea to use an older version of an anti-malware program, just because it's cheap. As for your statement that free anti-virus programs are not that good, Avast and Avira have consistently received favorable reviews from leading tech experts and reviewers. Unfortunately, they are not as JAWS accessible as they used to be, according to people on other lists. I have been using MSE on my system since its introduction in October, 2009, and have yet to suffer a virus attack. Maybe I have just been lucky, or maybe MSE really works. Could you elaborate on your experience with Norton anti-virus and tell us how accessible it is with JAWS?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Avg anti-virus
Gerald, You miss understood what I said about using last year's version. I used Norton 2013 and it downloads the latest definishing files to keep it up to date. It is not lacking in away from protection in my opinion. Then after I load Norton 2013 in late fall I usually get a message from Norton letting me update to the Norton 2014 until my prescription runs out. I do have to agree with you it is not very accessible using JAWS I just don't agree tho that the free version are that good in my opinion. Most of the time they are not rated that good. Anyway that is just my opinion and we have to just have to agree just to disagree.

Kevin, Usually jaws will tell you the fire wall is turned off, to press the space bar to correct this Bubble. And then, I guess everything is swell, if not check the fire wall your self.

Re: [JAWS-Users] AVG, vs. Quick Heel
I get a message spoken by JAWS indicating I am not protected. I don't know why it happens. I just checked my microsoft firewall and was off also. I made sure it was on around a month ago.

[JAWS-Users] AVG Virus Scan
I am using W7, outlook 2010 and latest jaws and I would appreciate some pointers on using the AVG virus protection. I have a new computer with AVG already installed so I would like to give it an honest try. Lightening damaged my old computer which had MSE virus protection and I liked it very much but I would like to see how I like AVG. I will appreciate any suggestions as this is new to me. Thanks much, For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
