Yeah, when I replied to Mike, I didn't think of that. I did install
the latest update to block that.
Take care and thanks for mentioning that.

make sure you have gotton the latest critical update that came out 2 days
ago. it has a bug fix for ie8 to block this. this is a virus and will
install itself if you click on anything. even pressing alt f4 could install
it. reboot the computer if this comes up or you might install it.

Subject: something is making IE 8 in accessible
Attention fellow Window-eyes users:
I'm not sure how many of you use IE 8, but be forewarned. As of Friday
last week, a strange advertisement of some sort has started coming up
whenever you start Internet Explorer 8. When you first open it, you'll
be placed in a dialog box, which contains the following controls:
1. two edit boxes asking you for your email address and password
2. these are followed by a checkbox that says, "keep me logged in"
3. next is a link that says, "login to Facebook"Then after that, are
two buttons to which are not readable with Window-eyes.
I can't tell if this is just another one of those pesky ads or a
rootkit or virus or something.. But whatever it is, it sometimes makes
IE inaccessible with Window-eyes. I've found that if you shut down IE
and then start it up again, this has the effect of pushing this thing
into the background, so that Google will have focus. I know its a
Google/IE thing, because you don't get this in Firefox. So I just
thought I'd be a good samaritan and let you know what I've found.
Sorry if this is off topic, but I just like to look out for my fellow
Window-eyes users and help to keep all of you informed. So, the
breaking of list rules is not intended.
