Dear Chris Yes - I am having the same issues of having to access the interface now with the Jaws cursor. AVG has certainly plummeted downhill from an accessibility standpoint since the version 7 I purchased. I attempted to turn off the span filter the other day and there was no way I could do this even after about 30 minutes of routing the jaws cursor around the interface. I will probably jettison AVG when my licence expires. I moved from Nod 32 to AVG because at the time there was no inbuilt Internet Security. I understand ESET have resolved this now so I may go back to this solution assuming that ESET have not crippled their accessibility also.
