So, I have a question for you: How do you use it in the meantime? I
purchased Trend Micro, and it was totally unusable. Because of that, it
reeked havoc on my old computer. I think it would have been very good if I
could have used it correctly, but I couldn't even tell it not to block
window eyes. Pam.

I have never used Kaspersky with Window-Eyes. However, it may offer some
degree of accessibility and it is the antimalware program I chose to use
as of a few months ago, after Microsoft Security Essentials failed to
protect me against a rather crippling virus. I use it because it is one
of the top-rated antivirus packages on the market and I refuse to
compromise my computer's security in the name of accessibility.
I am, as some people may know, extremely passionate and a bit militant
about this issue and I apologize if I come off too strong about this.
However, blind people need to consider that we need to use the security
software which is highly-rated, rather than choosing the package that
works best with a screen reader but which may not offer an acceptable
level of protection. I am trying to dialog with Kaspersky regarding
these issues and I plan to continue to do so until accessibility is
improved. I would like to strongly urge all of you to do the same. If
one person contacts a company, they may be less inclined to act. If many
of us contact them with the same concerns, particularly if we're paying
customers, perhaps we'll get results which will be more favorable to us.
So many of us, myself included, find it easier to choose a security
program because it works best with whatever screen reader we happen to
be using. When it comes to the security of my computer, that is no
longer acceptable to me. For years, I relied upon MSE because it was
speech-friendly. I'm also an extremely cautious, responsible and
security-conscious user but these traits are no longer enough to keep
you safe. I now insist on using security software which is highly-rated,
meaning that it gets excellent scores with independent lab tests. If
it's not accessible, I am willing to engage in constructive dialog with
the company and I will go to incredible lengths to do this but, in the
end my goal is to make it accessible.
