I use AVG it's pretty accessible and I've never gotten a virus or anything
with it runnning. It's about $40 a year.

Subject: Security and Antivirus programs with Window-eyes
good evening List,
I am still trying to figure out which antivirus/security program would
be the best fit to keep me safe while working with Window-eyes.
One person suggested Avira, gdata, sophos and vipre are accessible. In
my research, I did not find any of them listed as on the top 10
antivirus/security programs. Can anyone correct me or give me input on
why I should use one of these and which one??
In my surfing, I found David goldfield's Blind Planet page. He
suggests choosing an antivirus/security program that protects and not
just because it works with a screen reader.
He recommends Kaspersky. Although he had issues installing the latest
Kaspersky with NVDA, he was able to navigate it with NVDA in order to
change settings. From the sound of it, the ability to run a scan and
update the program are accessible. Having a sighted husband, the
install would not be an issue for me.
Below is the link to the article (hopefully) (You may have to cut and
paste it into your browser)

Kaspersky Antivirus: A Review for Screen Reader Users
Can someone give me some input on any of the above or other programs and
anything else I should consider when choosing an antivirus/security program.
thanks for your help,
brenda
