[Nfbf-l] anti-virus

[Sherri]

Jim and all, I am using AVG. I actually have the paid version, which has 
lots of other attributes. You have to use the Jaws cursor with it, but it is 
manageable.

Hi Kathy,

Though Microsoft Security Essentials is quite accessible in recent times it
hasn't gotten very good marks as far as actual protection for your computer.
I took it off  of my machine for that reason and I am now looking for a new
anti virus program to take it's place.  What are you using for an anti virus
program right now?  Ryan is correct about Malware Bytes being a pretty good
program as far as protecting against spyware but the latest version is not
at all accessible so it would require going back a version so you could
actually use it.  If you are using something right now just wait and let me
finish looking around at the various options.  The real problem is
accessibility as the major players like Norton and Mcafee are not very
accessible along with many others.  The options are becoming fewer and fewer
but I will keep looking because I need a new anti virus program.

Thanks,
Jim

Hi Ryan,
My goodness am I up late. I was going through some old e-mail and
came across the below one from you. Do you think you could help me get set
up with the antivirus you indicate below? Will you have some free time over
the weekend? I could give you a call on Sunday while Tome is here so I have
some eyes around. Just let me know if this would work for you.

Thanks much,

Kathy

Hello.  I don't know about that particular program, but Microsoft Security
Essentials works well with JAWS and it is free.  For Malware, Malware Bytes
is a pretty good program.  You can download those programs very easily from
the ninite.com web site.  There is another program for anti-virus called
Avast, but I've had trouble using JAWS with that one.  Email me at
rmann0581 at gmail.com if you have any questions.

Does anyone know anything about Sophos and if it works well with JAWS?
