Hi. Just to let everyone know, the latest version of avast anti virus, 5.0.545 is now useable and accessible with jaws. I tried it last night with jaws ten and i was able to register for a free licence, check registration status, and navigate options on the main window such as turning gaming mode on/off, checking protection status, etc. Its very impressive in my opinion that Avast responded quickly to what we wanted and took the time out to fix the issues people had, its only been a month after all since the last program update. For those wanting to install this version, instructions are as follows. For those that installed a version such as 4.8 or 5.0.507, Go in to the system tray with insert f11, right-click on the avast icon, go to update, then program update. Avast will then begin to update. with 5.0.507, you won't get any feedback unless you use the jaws curser. If you don't want to use this method, skip to the fresh install method below. Fresh Install. The installation file for avast 5 can be downloaded from download.com, the link is below. Go ahead and follow the download and installation instructions in the installation wizard, and when installed, you should have version 5.0.545. If in the unlikely event you end up with 5.0.507, Just do the update method as i described above from the system tray. The link to the download is: http://download.cnet.com/Avast-Free-Antivirus/3000-2239_4-10019223.html?part=dl-85737&subj=dl&tag=button Sorry if these instructions seem brief, i'm writing this in a hurry but if anyone else wants any tips i'll be happy to help. And in answer to your question, yes they did do what they promised! Mo.
