the members of a mailing list I subscribe to recommend the built in 
Windows Defender, which works well and is screen reader friendly.

Hi Brian,



I have been using it for years and find it very accessible. Once I
configured the software to my specs , it just runs in the background. HTH

How accessible is Windows Defender for a JAWS user?

I recommend removing McAfee and just using the anti-virus program that comes
with Windows 10.  It is called Windows Defender.  Once you remove Mcafee,
you can just make sure Windows Defender is turned on and it will
automatically monitor your system.

Greetings to all,



I am currently running McAfee on my Windows 10 laptop. Is this the best
antivirus program or should I be looking into something else? If something
else, what antivirus program do you recommend? Please let me know when you
get a moment.



Sincerely,



Brian A. Mackey
