That is kinda scary when you get those messages--still freaks me out cause they come out of nowhere. <Smile>.
Here's what I've done to solve the problem of Jaws not giving me focus on those messages. When I hear one of those messages I use the "Jaws task list" dialogue by pressing JawsKey+F10. this dialogue will show you a list of all open Windows so you can place focus on them. Try this command and down arrow through the list of open applications. When you find one of interest the app will open and the Jaws dialogue will close. Whenever you hear one of those malwarebytes messages simply use this dialogue to find the Malwarebytes dialogue and press enter to focus on it. Now use your Jaws cursor to read the screen. At any point you can press Escape to close the Jaws task list dialogue. This command has become so useful to me that I've reassigned the hotkey to Windows key+J in an effort to have quick access to it. You should also take a look at the malwarebytes log and see if there is an entry there for the event. Depending on the email client you are using, you should really consider changing to the presentation of your email to plain text and not HTML. Using HTML is most likely to lead to an infection because it contains code that can run lots of stuff on your computer, and it is this feature that idiots use to screw up our computing experience.

Joseph, Most of the time Mywarebytes will tell me: Mywarebytes just blocked a malicious website In comimming or Out going and it says, 191.6543.211 for example. Now, I am lost on what should be my next step, so I just continue on and trust Mywarebytes. But, one thing for some reason I can't get the address of the malicious website to repeat so I can copy & paste the address to get some info on it. Oh, one more thing: This PC is my everyday junk computer and the large majority of the emails are from three clubs I belong to;my guess is coming from there.. The one that bugs me more is the out going malicious website? Is that coming from me? Thank you Free Tech.

Hi Alan, Use Run dialogue to open the following path: C:\Windows\Installer\ Now look for that specific file. When you find it simply press Shift F10 and run a scan using Malwarebytes. If it finds anything funky, associated with that file, simply choose to quarantine. By quarantining rather than deleting, you can put that file back where it came from in the event you find Windows needs it. I ran a quick Google search and could not find any reference to that file, so I'm sorry I can't be more detailed than to tell you to quarantine for now. I have lots of faith in Malwarebytes and if it were my computer I would follow Malwarebytes advice and quarantine.

Within the malwarebytes report, follow the path to that file and manually delete it. Before deleting it, Press Shift F10 and scan again using the Malwarebytes item.

Excellent directions. Do you have to select or unselect actions you want taken? I had one file which when I clicked remove it said all malicious items removed or something like that. However when reviewing the report it listed one file with a problem but stated no action taken. How do I get rid of this one file?

Hello, Well, to really activate Mywarebytes Pro you have to pay first.. Then run it and it should say, Mywarebytes Pro, press the tab key to navigate. Press tab to scan, press the space bar. Press tab for Full scan or arrow to quick or flash scan. Press the space bar. Then, leave it alone, the first couple scans will run about a hour and in time it will be less. When the scan is done, press space bar to show results. Tab twice to show results again. Tab to remove all infected objected objects, press the space bar. The Mywarebytes report will start to read, press the shift + tab to bring you back to the OK button on removing all infected objects and press the space bar. Press the shift +tab to cycle you back to the Mywarebytes report tex.txt document. Use your down arrow to read the report. You will be surprise on all the problems in your computer Mywarebytes picked up. When done viewing the report you can save the report to my documents or press alt + F4 twice to close Mywarebytes. That exit menu sucks and when closes it makes you feel like if you did something wrong. It's better to use alt + F4. Enjoy, this is a great product.

It seems a bit invasive, but I assure you it is not; especially since you are taken from the Malwarebytes website to the CNet download page. If you'd like I can download the Malwarebytes trial and Dropbox it to you. You can also try installing a copy of your Malwarebytes Pro on a second machine. I believe Malwarebytes allows for this as I've only Purchased a single license and have installed the pro version on 3 computers. I'm assuming if I were doing something wrong I would be asked for a second and third license key but the process completes problem free. The worst that can happen is that the install won't go through.
