Hi Merv, I would appreciate it, as well as many others, if you could throw my 2 questions at them. I can tab, arrow & whatever else in the setting a schedule option, but I can't seem to get any other option checked besides the, Quick scan. I'm totally blind so, I can only go by what Jaws is reporting as checked, but in all actuality, Full or Custom, could be checked. I haven't tried using the touch cursor keystrokes as of yet, but I'll have to give them a try. I know it's been said that touch cursor keystrokes are normal Jaws navigation keystrokes, but, the touch cursor keystrokes report differently as touch cursor keystrokes, than they do in normal Jaws mode, well at least in my brief experimentation with them.
As far as the quarantine issue, that needs a lot of help, compared to Vipre 2014, ah hell, so does the scheduling option!. I'm real close to going back to Vipre 2014! Take care.

I have a case open with them via phone and also via email. They recently updated their support page along with their viper 2016 application. Unfortunately the written instruction are not exactly screen reader friendly. I had already planned to call them tomorrow about another issue. I will ask them about this one if I can. If you look at the support instructions you will see that it advises you to look for a pencil and click on it to schedule a scan. I really like viper 2016 Internet Security and I am concerned that it has been losing accessibility with Jaws and other screen readers. I would hate to see it go the same way as applications such as bit defender. When I had sight I loved that program. However, it moved to the cloud right about the time my vision dropped below the point where I could use programs that were largely cloud dependent such as Adobe and Bit Defender. I still miss Audition. If we can keep viper accessible I'm willing to go the extra mile to help make that possible.

I think vipre sets one up for you, because every now and then jaws will announce vipre has started a scan, we're just letting you know vipre is protecting you! so you really don't need to change settings, I just installed mine and forgot it. in other words vipre has become a install it and forget it. -----Original Message----- From: Mike B Sent: Sunday, April 10, 2016 12:14 PM To: Jaws-Users List Subject: [JAWS-Users] Vipre 2016 & JAWS Hi JAWS & Fellow Vipre Users, I just updated to the 2016 version a week or so ago, & I'm trying to get used to the new interface. 2 questions. 1. I can't seem to get the hang of scheduling a scan, would y'all please give me some steps to follow? 2. If Vipre quarantines something, how do I tell Vipre 2016 that I want to allow it? I'm running Windows 7 Pro & Jaws 15 thru 17 latest. All help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks much. Take care. Mike Remember folks, it's tax time!

No I just checked and there have been a couple of little changes since the last time I spoke with them. It says progress bar for me. Usually my systems scans are on a schedule so I didn't notice. If I scan a file or folder intentionally I check in antivirus history to see the result. -----Original Message----- From: Mario [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, April 9, 2016 10:43 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [BlindTech] thoughts on the new viper update. Merv, do you find that you need to use the JAWS cursor a lot? if you run a scan on a drive, can you monitor it's progress and results once the scan is finished? if something suspicious is detected, how can it be dealt with? ------- Original Message -------- From: Merv Keck Sent: Saturday, Apr 9, 2016 10:22:14 AM EST To: [email protected] Subject: [BlindTech] thoughts on the new viper update. Hi, I have called and spoken with them down here in Clearwater, Florida. They are not far from Freedom Scientific and their tech support people for the most part are very aware of screen readers and how to give support to the visually impaired. Two of their techs have informed me that the only major benefit of viper 2016 Pro is that because it is largely cloud based it is faster and leaves less of a footprint on your local machine both in space and in resources. They said this will benefit older and slower machines. However if you are running a jam-packed system with plenty of RAM and plenty of HD you won't notice much of a difference if any. I called them because I had received a coupon to upgrade and I was concerned because before when I had other antivirus suites that moved to the cloud they became unusable. I was assured by two techs that this was not going to be an issue that the program itself was not going cloud based like other programs for other companies have done. I use Vipre Internet Security 2016 and I have had no issues with accessibility. Although last night I did go to the support page online to see how to do something and when I got to step nine it said something like look at this picture and configure your computer like the picture in this box. I'm thinking ok who thought that one up? Laughs! I plan to call them Monday and discuss that one with them even though I fixed the issue without the picture in the box. Hope that helps.

Chris, what version is it, 2016, 2017 or Pro? I think Pro is cloud based and it applies only for Internet Security for now, that's why I ask. also if you could, give the exact version number. ------- Original Message -------- From: Chris Judd Sent: Friday, Apr 8, 2016 11:48:46 PM EST To: [email protected] Subject: [BlindTech] thoughts on the new viper update. Hey all, I just updated to the new viper that just came out, and for the most part, it is accessible with jaws. It is a new layout, but it is easy to manage, once you get the hang of it. Anyone else have any thoughts? Thanks, Chris _._,_._,_ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
