Hello,
Here are a couple things that you might need to do. The first thing is to allow the Microsoft antimalware service to interact with the desktop. The second thing is to set to icon to always show in the notification area. Setting the service to interact with the desktop: 1. Use Windows key and type services.msc in the search box. Wait for services to open, but you might need to use Alt+tab to move into the services window if JAWS loses focus. 2. The focus should be in the tree view structure. Press tab key to move to the list of services. 3. Press the letter M until you get to the Microsoft antimalware service. 4. Bring up the properties by using Alt+enter key or by pressing the application key and choosing properties from the menu. Focus will be in the general page of the properties. 5. Use CTRL+tab key to move to the "Log on" page. 6. Use tab key to find a checkbox that says "allow service to interact with desktop" and check it with spacebar if it is not checked. 7. Use tab key and press spacebar or enter key on the Apply button if there is one or on the OK button. 8. Close the services by using Alt+f4. The icon should show up in your notification area after doing those steps. Allowing the icon to always show in the notification area 1. Use Windows key with B to move to the notification area. If you hear "notification shevron button" then press spacebar. 2. Use the up arrow key to the "customize" menu choice and press enter key. 3. Use tab key until you hear "Microsoft Security Client user interface." Use up or down arrow keys and select the choice for "show icon for notifications", although, it might be the first choice. 4. Use tab key to the OK button and press spacebar to accept the choice. Take care.

Brian that's my situation. Can you please explain how to fix this? I am using Jaws v12 and windows 7. Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: Brian Lee Sent: Thursday, February 24, 2011 11:52 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] MSE history Hi Marilyn, Perhaps my description made it sound harder than it is. It is really just a matter of finding the applicable radio button, tabbing to a list of items and selecting one and reading information about it in the next box that you tab to. On my system, I had a quarantined item and some items that were found that I had deleted, so perhaps that is why they showed in the history. I am not sure that the various controls will show if there are no items in the history. If you want to just make sure that your system is being protected then go into the system tray with JAWS key and function key 11 and use down arrow key to find the icon that gives the status for the antivirus protection. You should hear that your system is protected. If you hear that your system is potentially unprotected, it might be that the program wants you to do a scan. You can just tab three times and use the link that simulates a double left mouse button click to bring up the program. Choose to do a quick scan, which only takes a few minutes. When the scan finishes, go back into the notification area using insert and F11 and arrow down. You will likely find that your system is being protected. If by chance you find that there is no icon in your system tray then it might be that the Microsoft anti malware service needs to be allowed to interact with your desktop. I have had a couple systems where that was the case. Let me know if that happens to be the situation and I can give you steps for enabling the interaction. Sorry if it seemed really confusing. Sometimes, we make things harder than they really are in actuality. Take care.

This is much more than I expected and really more hassle than should be . What if we just don't do anything at all? Will we be protected? Thanks for your time and effort on this. Shame on ms for making this harder than we ever thought. marilyn----- Original Message ----- From: "Brian Lee" <brianl...@charter.net> To: <jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com> Sent: Wednesday, February 23, 2011 7:28 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] MSE history : Hello, : : I am using JAWS 12 with Windows 7 64-bit and an up-to-date Microsoft : Essentials program.
