Hi,

Has anyone here used the PREVX CSI Virus and Worm scanner?  If so, does it seem to be a legitimate product and does it function reasonably with a screen reader?  
There are many of these that, rather than scanning, actually infect a machine, but this one looks interesting and I have not found any bad press on it as of yet.  Still, I've 
never heard of it so I'm a little uneasy.  It appears to allow scans and limited removal for free and a paid version will do more complex removal.  It accesses a database 
from the internet of the latest threats which means that one must have internet access to use it but one need not update definitions.  It does not appear to be something 
that offers real-time protection but is used more to look for threats that have managed to get past one's standard protection.

Thanks for any information.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson
