The free version of Malware Bytes, which I use in conjunction with MSE does
not offer real-time virus protection. Indeed, Malware Bytes is an
anti-spyware program , not an anti-virus program.

I would just keep mse and use malware bites, because the article suggests
mse doesn't pick up many infections.
malware bites can be downloaded from the jaws help page, many threads were
posted about malware bites on this board previously.

Unfortunately, getting sighted help to use an anti-virus program is not an
option for me and probably not for many other list members as well. So
unless someone can recommend an alternative to MSE that is still fully
JAWS
accessible and is removable without sighted help, I'll stick with it
because
some virus protection is better than none at all. And MSE is still the
most
JAWS friendly anti-virus program available.

Hi,
Personally, I have given up on trying to find decent antivirus software
that
works well with JAWS. Currently, I use Norton and I just get sited
assistance, when I need it, which is very seldom.
Thanks,
Scott Duck

Check out the following web page for an interesting article that argues
that
it may be time to give up on Microsoft Security Essentials and sswitch to
another anti-virus program. But if what the article says is true and MSE
is
no longer effective, what other free JAWS-accessible anti-virus programs
are
still available? Forget about Avast, which requires sighted help to
uninstall, or AVG which some users claim is no longer JAWS friendly. Are
there any other decent free anti-virus programs that work well with JAWS?
