[Blind-Computing] AVG and Jaws
Hi all I fell victim to a horrible worm, something which sounded like MS Anti Virus Platinum. My computer was out for days and it took an engineer to remove it and clean up the computer. He recommended AVG as my program. I had been using MS security suit, but it got by that. Is AVG good and Accessible?

Also, if, by accident, they both end up running, insert key + number row 3 tells jaws to pass next key through to other apps, so I can then next hit insert + Q to tell NVDA to exit/unload.

If so what might the possible problems and best practices be? Reason for this query is currently using Jaws 10 IE7 on Vista and keep getting messages that my browser needs to be updated to work on web sites visited. I know IE9 does not work with Jaws 10 and some of the newer browser versions and looking for alternatives to resolving this without having to upgrade Jaws again which is proving more and more expensive...

[Blind-Computing] OE Identities Question
Hi All, I looked in an Identities folder at the following location: C:\Documents and Settings\Mike\Application Data\Identities There are 8 folders here, they are all empty. I made sure that all folders were unhidden all operating system folders were showing. Can these folders be removed being that they are empty? All advice will be greatly appreciated.

Re: [Blind-Computing] OE Identities Question
Hi Mike,
Wrong location!
Here it is:
C:\Documents and Settings\Mike\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities
Here is what the entire path might look like for the folders in one
identity:
C:\Documents and Settings\Mike\Local Settings\Application
Data\Identities\{9B14C208-C69C-4852-BB2E-DAA18D7C580D}\Microsoft\Outlook
Express
Another way to the folders for a particular identity would be getting the
stored folder location from within OE,
and I believe I have instructions on the website:

Re: [Blind-Computing] OE Identities Question
Yo Bro,
Thank you for your reply. No, not the wrong place. This Identities folder
I'm speaking of is where I said. The 1 you are talking about is there as
well but, that is why I'm asking if these folders can be removed.
Here is the path to 1 of the folders I'm talking about:
C:\Documents and Settings\Mike\Application
Data\Identities\{B711DCB4-8A1F-4B52-8C34-57F67F4102A6}
What is weird about this folder is that it doesn't have a folder for my
default identity. Thanks again, take care.

Re: [Blind-Computing] OE Identities Question
Mike,
I would leave the empty folders alone,
sometimes Windows or other programs will create folders or files for a
specific reason
as part of their normal operation, and if those folders or files are not
there it can cause problems.

Re: [Blind-Computing] AVG and Jaws
Hi Niamh, Firstly, sorry about my previous empty message. Human error. (Smile). In all likelihood, while using Internet Explorer or other browser, you probably clicked or pressed enter on a warning message telling you that certain worms or viruses had been discovered on your computer and that you should click on a Scan or Clean link to get rid of them. In fact, when you clicked on the scan link promising to clean your computer, this was actually a virus you were installing. I'm sure your computer probably went crazy after that with crazy popups and weird sounds, and when you tried running your antivirus such as MSE you could not do so. there are many, many variants of this malware on the internet. The reason you got infected was not because Microsoft Security Essentials failed you (there is no major commercial antivirus that can protect the user from mistakes in judgment when it comes to this kind of prompt). AVG will not be able to help you if you come across the same type of prompt, and Nod32 will also not be able to protect you. The computer user also bares some responsibility for the security of their computer. You should seriously consider taking a multi-layer approach to protection. You should use a properly configured MSE, and use Malwarebytes Pro for full real time protection (do not use the free malwarebytes as it can't protect you in real time and will probably not be completely effective in ridding your computer of malware after the fact). Very glad to hear you are back on your feet as I was a bit upset when this happened to me also. Luckily, I had an image of my computer from just a few days prior, which I was able to use to restore my computer to a working state within an hour.

Hiya someone once told me, the best way to get out of those traps is just to shutdown the computer. do nothing in otherwords as the worm or trojan will install if you close the window, with alt F4, do not install in otherwords. either way it will install. so I have my computers button shutting down the PC just in case of such situations.
