[NFBCS] Looking for Accessible Antivirus That Runs on Windows 7 64 Bit

[Nicole Torcolini]

	Thanks, I will look into that. This sounds fine,, especially since my laptop has not had a virus in at least five years, so I am not really concerned about whatever is said about it not catching everything. It staying out of the way will be good, too; I hate the ones that eat a bunch of memory.

For Windows 7 machines where screen readers are installed, I usually use Security Essentials.  It stays out of the way and doesn’t tell you your assistive technology is a virus and the interface has always been pretty accessible with JAWS and NVDA.  After reading this, some people will hit Reply and say that Essentials does not ketch as many viruses as other programs.  To them I say, I don’t always have a sighted person around to deal with whatever changes are made to make Norton or whatever the “best” one of the week   inaccessible.  Just use common sense and you will be fine.
