more friendly with jaws like turning off the skins?

Hi All.
Thanks to roger for tipping me off about this! Avast 5.0.594 now seems to
be fully accessible with screen readers. progress bars are now spoken, as
well as all of the interface. scans are now read out in realtime as they
should be, providing the user with information you'd probably have had to
use the jaws curser for. pressing tab and shift tab seems to be sufficient
to navigate, in other words using standard navigational keystrokes gets
you to the information you want to reach. the only flaw i've noticed is
the settings dialogue, for screen reader users its read out correctly, but
the tabs aren't immediately noticeable. you have to press space on the
settings button, then tab, then shift tab until jaws doesn't say anything
when shift tab is pressed e.g tab, gaming mode. shift tab, gaming mode
settings. shift tab. when jaws says shift tab only, scrole up twice with
the arrows and this should get you to where the tabs are, from there you
have access to over 10 different tabs to finely customize avast settings
including the look, sounds, scans, etc.
feeling brave? most of you will already have the opportunity to update via
the program interface its self, rightclick your avast icon, click on
update, then program update. but for those of you that have not got it
installed or don't want to use the system tray method, here's a download
link to the free anti virus program. it is not necissary to install the
chrome web browser, so click no when you are asked to install.

Thanks all for reading.
