Marilyn, If you are using the free version and want to do a complete scan, you will need to do that manually. On the JAWS-users website, David has an article that tells you how to configure Avast to be more blind friendly. In its default mode, you will see two references in your system tray

Hi, helpers: I downloaded Avast from the jaws users list hoprograms page and now have 4.8 on my xp home computer. There are two items in the system tray. Question: what are they and does their existence in the tray mean Avast is doing its antivirus thing? Or do I have to go through the context menu and choose various items? Or do I have to manually scan every time or is this all automatic? I don't even know what most of the choices mean much less whether or not I need to choose them. I uninstalled AVG free because it ran for ages and slowed down everything to a quicksand crawl. What should I do? marilyn For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
