[gui-talk] Accessible Alternative to MSE

[enes]

hello,
avast has rewritten most of it's antivirus
and they have an accessibility team
they  are beta testing the rewritten  antivirus
if anyone could test the beta and provide feedback to them   maybe they 
could fix the accessibility glitches in avast

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.
