into this myself and it is also accessible to use.

Somebody on another list claims that the most recent version of Avast

is that if it doesn't work out, it might be necessary to boot into
safe mode to remove it, and of course, this cannot be done with JAWS
because it does not provide speech. So I would prefer to avoid Avast
for these reasons.

The probelm with AVG and Avast is that there are questions about
their accessibility with JAWS, particularly the most recent
versions. So as an alternative to MSE, I am considering Qihoo 360
Internet Security, which is free and JAWS accessible , according to
a few list members who have tried it. And it has received mostly
favorable reviews for ease of use and malware detection. Can I
disable MSE real-time protection and keep it on my PC and use it
only as a scanner in conjunction with another real-time anti-virus
program like 360 Internet Security? This way, I can go back to
using MSE by re-enabling real-time protection in the event that the
alternate anti-virus program doesn't work out and has to be
uninstalled. My understanding is that the XP version of MSE can no
longer be installed, so once I remove it, I probably wouldn't be
able to re-install it again, and for this reason, I would prefer to
keep it on my PC as a fallback. As long as MSE real-time protection
is disabled, it should not conflict with another real-time
anti-virus program. Does this make sense? Thanks for any advice.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] MSE Now Flagging My PC Status As "At Risk"
A few days ago, I posted that the Microsoft Security Essentials
icon in the System Tray of my XP PC was reporting its status as
"potentially unprotected". This morning, after I booted up and
checked the System Tray, the MSE icon is now reporting my PC
status as "At Risk". Here is the message that is displayed on the
MSE Home tab:
PC status: At risk
Support for this operating system has ended, which means Microsoft
Security Essentials is no longer supported and your PC is at
risk. To make
sure your PC stays
protected, click the link below to see our end-of-support guidance
for operating systems.
While it is true that support for XP itself has ended, the XP
version of MSE continues to function. I successfully updated the
database definitions manually and ran a quick scan to verify
this. So if MSE is still working, then my PC is not really "At
Risk", as the System Tray icon reports, and I can only conclude
that this is nothing less than shameless scare mongering on the
part of MS. Contrary to the message above,reliable sources claim
that support for MSE will continue through July, 2015. So what is
really going on? Are any other MSE users who are still running XP
also getting the "At Risk" icon in their System Tray?
