Speaking of antispyware, someone installed adaware on my box a long time
ago, but it's a couple years old and I never use it, because I can't do
anything. Clicking the pretty text doesn't help. So, I was thinking about
uninstalling it and was wondering, has anyone tried a more recent adaware
and was it more accessible? I know there's the older version that you can
still get updates for (at least you could), but thought I'd go for something
more recent.
Thanks.

Thanks for the feedback. The $3 is a good price I believe, but that's only
cause of a special offer going on right now. That aside though, I really
didn't want to go through the hastle of having to uninstall AVG that I'm
running now for example. Make sure that was all cleared out and then
install
this whole new security package and find out it 1, wasn't workable with
jaws
and 2. that it was just crappy. jaws or no jaws compatibility. Then have
to
go through the added hastle of reinstalling AVG and reconfiguring etc.
I've
also got a2squared antispyware running and it seems to work quite well,
but
it's not the most jaws friendly program around and often I end up needing
my
sighted wife's help for executing this or that command or reading whatever
message. That's why I was interested in webroot to see if it would be
something I'd have more control over.

I think for the money that AVAST Pro is the best. Its Jaws friendly and
seems to catch everything and doesn't bog down the system.
There is also a free version for home use and is quite good, but for the
most protection I would go Pro. and

Hi Cristobal,
I am running XP/SP3 Home, IE7, & Jaws 8, 9, & 10 latest. I had the Web
Root
package and couldn't wait until my subscription ran its course before I
uninstalled it. It was not very Jaws friendly, but even worse It let a
lot
of stuff through that was caught with other programs. Forgive me for
being
somewhat vague, but it has been quite some time that I let Web Root go.
Unless they have improved in the last year or so I wouldn't waste the
money.
Besides for $3.00 that is an awful cheap price and as the old saying
goes,
"
you get what you pay for " may apply here. This is my own experience
with
Web Root, maybe others have had better luck. Take care.
Mike

Hello list,
Hopefully I can get some feedback as to my inquiry. I was considering
purchasing the above mentioned security package, but as I've never used
it
in the past, I was curious to know if anyone on here is or has used it
and
how accessible it is with Jaws? Dell's got a special right now $3 for 3
computers and I've been looking to switch my antispyware package and
thought
it was a good deal. I've got a pretty standard set up with my pc's XP
pro,
jfw 10 etc.
Any input on how jaws interacts with it or what you need to do to make
it
more jaws friendly or if it's even worth trying to figure out would be
appreciated.
Thanks,
Cristobal
