Hi.
I'd like to add my thanks for providing these instructions. I was able to
configure avast to do a complete scan, but now I have a few questions.
I configured it to scan all hard drives, so I was figuring it would scan
everything, but now I'm not so sure.
I just did a complete scan and there were a list of about 200 items AVAST
said it couldn't scan. The files had INI and BMP extensions mostly. It
said the .BMP files were password protected, but I know I haven't assigned
any passwords.Is this normal, or do I need to adjust a setting?

Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] how to set up Avast so it works better with Jaws
Hi Joanne,
do the following two things to make Avast more accessible.
Configuring Avast to not use the skins for the simple user interface:
1. Start Avast.
2. Wait for the memory test to be completed, then close the web page that
appears. You should now land on a dummy check box.
3. Press the applications key to open a context menu, down arrow to
settings
and press enter. The Programme Settings dialogue box appears, with the
categories tree gaining focus.
4. Tab until you hear, "enable skins for simple user interface check box
checked". Press space to uncheck it.
5. Tab to ok and press enter. You'll land back on the dummy check box.
6. Close and restart Avast. You should now be able to tab through the
controls in this programme.
Configuring JAWS to read lists in Avast:
1. Make sure that you're focused on the Avast Simple User Interface.
2. Press JAWS key 6 to open Configuration Manager.
3. Press enter to accept the New Configuration File dialogue box.
4. Press alt s to open the set options menu, then press a. The advanced
Options dialogue box appears.
5. Shift tab till you hear, "Rely on MSAA for List Views check box not
checked". Press space to check it.
6. Press enter to activate the ok button.
7. Either press control s to save your configuration file immediately, or
press alt F4, pressing enter to activate the yes button on the confirm
dialogue box.
By doing these steps, you'll resolve an issue on some machines whereby
JAWS
stops speaking when focused on any of the lists in Avast.
For a complete scan, check all local disks, check archives, move the
slider
to 100% (thorough scan), and click start. For a quick scan put the slider
at
50 percent. Hope that helps. Take care.
Mike
