I wrote Malwarebytes about this circumstance yesterday and this is what just landed in my inbox. Our development team is aware of this situation, and we deeply apologize for the inconvenience. This will be corrected in our upcoming 2.1 update. I do not have an official timeframe for this update. What I would recommend is to downgrade to the previous 1.75 version of Malwarebytes until the 2.1 update releases. If you do not have a copy saved on your computer, I can provide you a link to download it.
Well, at least they're aware of the problem and dont' sound cmpletely lost when referring to accessibility. I guess I'll just roll back to v1.75 for the time being. Hopefully an update will come soon, but seeing as how v2.0 was just released, I wouldnt wait around for it. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Gerald Levy Sent: Wednesday, April 02, 2014 2:34 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Latest Malwarebytes and Jaws The moderator of another blind-tech related list posted a warning last week about updating to the latest version of Malware Bytes, version 2.0, because he also found it to be totally inaccessible, and recommended rolling back to Malware Bytes 1.75, the last accessible version. Gerald ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cristóbal" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, April 02, 2014 5:05 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Latest Malwarebytes and Jaws Hello list, So I came across a deal for Malwarebytes Pro the other day and decided to finally upgrade from the free version to the full paid version. I had been running an older version of Malwarebytes and it for the most part was accessible. A little useage of the Jaws cursor and no problem. This purchase was a software download via newEgg. I went ahead and did the upgrade to Malwarebytes 2.0.2 or whatever it is and am now finding that the program is completely unuseable with Jaws. All I can do is get Jaws to speak the window title, but beyond that, nothing at all. Not with any of the cursors, tabbing around, etc. My sighted wife attempted putting me in the field to type in my product key, but not even then does Jaws give any feedback. I know I could have her go through the registration process for me, but I don't want to have an inaccessible antimalware program running on my system that I can't interact with in case something does get flagged. My question is, has anyone else tried using the latest Malwarebytes with Jaws (JFW 15) and if so, did they have any luck with it? I could always have my wife install this one license on her machine so I'm not out the $15.00, but still. I always liked Malwarebytes and am frustrated to find that the latest update is a complete no-go with Jaws.
