Well I sent a message to the other list, which has absolutely gone mum
on the subject I put out there.
As many of us are on both list, I'm just wondering if anyone has any
thoughts on the possibility that versions of JAWS can be adversely
affected by virus protection that might think of aspects of JAWS as
being malware.
I believe this has happened to me in the past, thus messing up some of
my JAWS versions and possibly passing on any corruption caused by
virus protection deleting any files considered suspect.
Yes, no, maybe so?
Good evening Maria and everyone,
All worked well for a week until we came home one evening. Avast said it
detected a threat. Later we discovered that it removed JAWS. Freedom
Scientific told me that this is a know issue with Avast. It can only be
remedied with assistance from Avast. It sounds like we need to urge
developers of antivirus and other computer protection pacakges to
redesign their products so they will not detect assistive software as
threats. Avast works well with JFW under Windows XP.

We recently had this happen on my wife's computer running Windows 7
and Avast.
