If you want to stick to a free, no hassle antivirus/antimalware solution, I
would recommend Microsoft's Security Essentials. It is completely
accessible, uses little resources, and stays out of the way. The definition
updates are handled by Windows Update for reliability and convenience.
Since your habits and quickly performing Operating System and Browser
security updates through Windows Update is actually more important than the
antivirus scanner to reduce risk of infection, tieing definitions to Windows
Update makes sense.
There are a few solutions that possibly catch more nasties, but if your
habits are risky and / or this keeps you up at night, you would probably be
better off with a paid product.

Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] avast accessibility
Hi. That's fair enough, I've tried many sollutions trend micro, AVG,
avast, Nod32, bit defender, etc etc. Avast is good for me because
customers want a free alternative and normally install their own
anti-virus anyway, but alot of blind people i know use Avast mostly
through choice as far as i'm aware. I'm not saying its definitively the
best, but it keeps most viruses at bay or has done on many pc's i've used
it on. I just thought i'd write to the people at avast so they were aware
of the issues being encountered, and post here for reference.
All the best,
Mo.
