Personally I have found Super Anti-Spyware far easier to use than SpyBot or spyblaster. You have to use the Jaws cursor in setting preferences but apart from that the program is very straightforward and easy to use.
I understand that if you do get a dialogue box popping up you should avoid clicking any of the buttons in the box. Checking this out on Wikipedia, they say that pressing even cancel or close buttons will actually launch the Malware . The advice given is to press control alt and delete to launch the Windows Task Manager , select the rogue dialogue box from the list of tasks and then tab to the end task button. Restart your computer and hopefully you will have avoided an infection.

I think it is fairly easy to use with Jaws but then after Norton I may not be hard to please. My concern is that When I run a scan it says No Malware found but when I open the report it says that over 2,000 files were skipped because the program couldn't open them. So, there could be lots of malware in there, right? I was doing something on the Internet the other day and all of a sudden a voice says that my computer is infected with spyware and I need to download something or other to get rid of it, etc. I was freaked and closed everything. Now, I wonder if that put something on the computer although the F Secure says all is okay. But what about those 2,000 files it did not check? Anyway I downloaded Spybot and Spyware Blaster from the Blind Computing website and they made me crazy. Will write about that in a separate letter. I used to have Norton and was able to use it minimally with the help of Hot Spot Clicker but at least it made me feel safe. Any advice welcome.

It is kind of hard to get set up initially and the pop-up windows are not very JAWS friendly. It is very slow in doing a full system scan; but then again, my computer is only 1.8 MHZ. You have to use the JAWS cursor to read most of the windows; but, It is free and a full service internet security suite.
