Mike, This is the same in Windows 7 to 8. Try the following program:
http://www.clamwin.com/ Or just use the built in Windows 8 version. I wouldn't be not allowing a scan at start up. This is the first place that you will get targeted by a virus. Thank you. Brendon Donohue. -----Original Message----- From: Mike [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, 15 June 2014 8:41 PM To: Brendon Donohue Subject: RE: Losing speech in Win8 Hello Brendon I found several things in the start up menu which were not needed. I had not been able to get to the right place before because I hadn't been using control tab. This appears to be different in Win 8 to Win7. Anyway, things seem to have improved. I have vipre Internet security on the system which has caused problems in the past but now I don't allow it to run a scan at boot up. With many thanks Mike.
