[gui-talk] Accessible Alternative to MSE

[Gerald Levy]

Recently, Microsoft created an uproar when it admitted that Microsoft Security Essentials was not up to snuff and recommended that users switch to a third-party anti-virus program for better protection against malware threats.  But feedback on other lists suggests that none of the other free anti-virus programs -AVG, Avast or Avira-is especially screen reader friendly, and in their most recent versions, they are apparently inaccessible and thus unusable altogether.  And some of the paid anti-virus programs aren't much better.  Some of them either have inaccessible interfaces or else require sighted assistance to uninstall or remove or require solving an image captcha to complete the purchase process that is not solvbable with Webvisum.  So has anyone found an anti-virus program, preferabley free,  that is just as accessible and easy to use as MSE and that is not a hassle to remove in the event that it doesn't work out? Thanks.
