Hi Chris,
I am curious, Is there a help manual for this internet security
program. I am wondering because when I am in a computer scan there are
several buttons like password protected and I don't know what they do?

I have not read any reviews, but it has managed to alert me to some virus
emails I have received and I was able to take care of it without sighted
assistance. When I check out these products I'm looking at them strictly
for accessibility/usability.
We have seen some instances where AVG Free edition flags some Window-eyes
components as viruses needing a complete reinstall of Window-eyes.

Well I am going to try it this weekend but how would you say it stacks up
against say Esset or Vipre? I am currently shopping because my copy of
Vipre runs out next month. I also may just say heck with it and go with AVG
free edition (grin).

Hi,
My it does, ment it isn't free.
I wouldn't compare this to malware bites, I would compare it to AVAST, AVG,
MSSE, etc as it is full protection, not just malware.

Ok. But, if you want a program that is good, which I would get this is, why
would you want a program that takes more CPU? In a way, this sounds like a
more beefed up version of malware bytes.

It does, check the site for current pricing and more information.
It didn't seem to hit the cpu any more then viper.
In some instances web pages seemed to load faster.
It had an interesting feature, instead of checking for updates every hour it
could check when the computer was idol.
The default was to check every hour.
Documentation seemed to be clear and easy to understand.
Note: I didn't test the anti-virus or internet security products, I went
straight for total security.

I would assume this costs a little bit? Also, how much CPU usage did this
use when you were running this?

Hi,
Over the past two or three days I have been messing with an internet
security package called GData Total Security.
You can get more information from:
http://www..GData-software.com
Before I continue, you must turn off keylogging support under:
Web protection/more setting/key logger protection.
You can get there from the main GData Total Security window.
Failing to do this will render quick navigation keys in Window-eyes unusable
in both Internet Explorer and Firefox.
For example you will not be able to jump by heading using H.
Both installing and uninstalling can be done without vision.
If it detects a virus an accessible window comes up and you can choose what
to do with it.
If an email contains a virus, an alert comes up and you can read the
information on the virus or hit the check box to not display anymore
warnings. It can modify the subject/body when it does remove a virus.
Note: you may need to alt-tab to the alert.
The full computer scan is accessible and doesn't seem to slow the computer
down when it is running.
When scanning the computer, switch to the window you can then read the
title bar and the percent done is announced first.
The firewall seems to work all though I haven't had any alerts come up.
One can access all dialogs and options. Dialogs seem to be created with
standard controls.
Hope this helps.
Chris
