Maryllyn,
Do you or someone else here have the download link for MSE but it must be
the one suited for windows 7 32 bits, operating system?
Thanks much

Subject: [Blind-Computing] ANTI-VIRUS PROGRAMS, A RECOMMENDATION
:I believe someone may have already mentioned this particular program but
: just in case, I have been road testing Microsoft Security Essentials and
I
: find it quite navigable as well as quite effective in blocking
undesirable
: programs. There are some on this list who will automatically discount
any
: program if it was produced by Microsoft. Although opinions are like
: mothers: Everyone had one at one time or another, I believe it to be
: counterproductive to ignore or discount anything produced by the
world's
: largest software manufacturer just because it was made by them. That's
like
: saying all cookies made by Nabisco are terrible because you don't like
their
: Oreos. I'll agree that Microsoft has come up with some seriously bad
ideas
: in their day but in every case that I'm aware of, they have worked hard
to
: resolve their mistakes and are still doing so. I have no reason for
: recommending Microsoft's Security Essentials other than the fact that it
was
: based on Windows Live One Care, a truly excellent suite of protection
tools.
: Unlike many other anti-virus programs, there is no part of Security
: Essentials that isn't accessible to screen readers. It's straight
forward
: and does exactly what it says it will do without hogging RAM or making a
: general nuisance of itself. The program is quite capable of
customization
: and doesn't use up an unusual amount of static memory. Now, you may need
a
: little help in getting it downloaded for the first time since the web
site
: has an image based link which Jaws cannot read. I haven't tried it with
any
: alternative screen reader yet. Some of the Open Code ones might have
better
: luck at finding that link. But once you have the program, installing it
is
: quite easy. Like most good anti-virus programs, the first thing it does
is
: scan your computer and update itself with the most current definitions.
: It's relatively new as far as protection suites go, but it is using
: definitions which have been developed by Live One Care and Defender.
Those
: programs have been in existence for much longer. At this time,
Microsoft
is
: offering Security Essentials free of charge. I'm sure that it won't
stay
: that way for long, though.
: So, from the standpoint of ease of operation, variety of features and
: ability to navigate, I can recommend Microsoft Security Essentials as a
good
: choice for visually impaired computer users.
