I've been following advice from various sources and using Windows Defender, with the free edition of Malware Bytes installed to perform occasional scans. I also keep the operating system and applications up to date. Running out of date software is a very effective way to become vulnerable to malware.
So far, neither tool has detected anything. I don't know whether that's because I've managed to avoid malware, or because the malware is avoiding detection. I hope it's the former. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Dennis Long Sent: Friday, February 9, 2018 7:48 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Accessible free anti virus I find defender annoying ----- Original Message ----- From: "JM Casey" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, February 9, 2018 3:23 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Accessible free anti virus > Windows Defender for anti-virus.
