According to a knowledgeable techie on another list who has tried Malware
Bytes 2.0.3, it is impossible to quarantine or remove any detected threats
because this part of the program remains totally inaccessible. So while it
may be possible to get MB 2.0.3 to perform a scan, there is apparently no
way to remove any detected threats without sighted help. So unless somebody
has been able to successfully quarantine or remove detected threats with MB
2.0.3, MB 1.75 remains the last fully accessible version.

Gerald,
Malware Bytes 2.0315 is the initial release that everyone is calling
simply 2.03. When you open the program, and tab down to the Dashboard
item, you can then left or right arrow through the different tabs, and
then tab down in each tab to change your settings, schedule your scans,
etc. Like the 2015 version of Vipre, we are not just saying that it is
accessible to get other people to download and install it, these programs
are accessible just the way they are. Sonetimes one has to do a little
work and investigating to figure these things out. One cannot expect to
have everything handed to them on a plate expecting it to work in a
perfectly accessible manner. Everyone should put out a little effort and
try to make these programs work for them. I do not know everyone's story
on this list, but I lived for 45 years with my sight, then had to adapt to
living without it, and just as in my profession as an engineer before, I
am still finding ways to do the things that sometimes seem undoable to
most people, and the first rule is that one cannot take things at face
value, but must look at them from every angle to find the opening to the
solution. I realize that Mike B's friend Mr Cusson is working diligently
to try to get the Vipre development team to change the program to be
"shout in your face" accessible, but this is not always required. I have a
friend at Malware Bytes, William Roland, who kept me up to date on the
progress of the release of version 2.0315, and he notified me when it was
released, asking me to evaluate it and send back any further comments
concerning the accessibility of the program. I had about 4 items to report
back to him about, and was promised that these would be addressed in the
next release. I also told him that, for the most part, the program is
plenty accessible for a blind person to use. Please know that I am willing
to help anyone who cannot get these programs to work for them, it only
takes a little direction to get someone headed down the right path.
Regards,
Mike

This sounds like a minor update, so how is this version more accessible
than
version 2.0.3, which is not very accessible at all, contrary to what some
users have reported.
