I use AVG. Not the free version, and have no problems. From: John via Skypeenglish Sent: Friday, February 06, 2015 6:46 PM To: screen readers' access to skype and its interface. Subject: Re: [Skypeenglish] another place to consider for Skype problems
I hate Norton. It is a system hog, removing it is a bear: and the last accessible versionn used was in 2006.

I don't have any problems with it. I also used Kaspersky and it was pretty good, but it eats more resources and it started to have bigger accessibility problems. I also used Norton Antivirus but it was a very poor antivirus and some viruses caused me some problems. I also used AVG but it used to crash a lot and considered some valid applications which I made as containing viruses. (Problem solved by them after a time though). The company I bought the computer from said that Microsoft Security Essentials is a poor antivirus and that even MS employees recommend using it only if the user doesn't have a better antivirus. This is what I know about the modern antiviruses. --Octavian ----- Original Message ----- From: Brian Hartgen via Skypeenglish To: 'screen readers' access to skype and its interface.'

Any customer I build a machine for has that installed. I hope that helps. Brian Hartgen Hartgen Consultancy www.hartgen.org Phone UK: 02920-850298.

Subject: [Skypeenglish] another place to consider for Skype problems Good morning Skypites: I’m just putting this out there as a possible explanation for some of the random nature of the Skype issues I have been reading about in recent weeks. I see some of you having certain issues and others challenging them responding back that others aren’t having those issues so the answer is not what someone else just shared here in the forum. Here is what I just learned yesterday which has me wondering if we might not be looking in the wrong place for answers. I’m a JAWS user currently working with JAWS 16. About two months ago I had many of the problems we have seen discussed here in the group and many of you were kind enough to offer help and I was able to go backward to a prior version of Skype and JAWS scripts and since that time all has been well until recently. Over the last few weeks Jaws has been acting weird with Skype and a few other older applications that I have been using for years. The problems in nature are intermittent and because of that have been difficult to nail down for a definite cause. Yesterday a high level JAWS tech user told me that recent upgrades in some of the anti virus software could be the cause of some of our issues because of the way screen readers work it sees a screen reader as a potential possible threat. I’m currently using Avast and he did say that Avast is for sure on that list, so now I need your help again. What are you all using for virus protection that isn’t messing up your screen reader and that’s also blind friendly to use?
