Now Paul thank you for this but one thing in particular that annoyed me about
Avast, well two things actually. I used to keep getting an error message when
I wanted to check for updates and it used to say that it was unable to connect
with the Server. Another thing was that as this was happening I was forced to
remove it from my PC. removing was not easy either as this was not accessible
to blind people and I used to have to get a sighted person to do the removing
for me.

Subject: [vip_students] Using the new Avast 5 Free, how to register your copy!
Hi All,
I have been using the new Avast 5 now for a few weeks and it appears that
through some pressure from blind screen reader users it has been made more
accessible. I have checked out many of the features that interest me in using
Avast and am happy to report that they look pretty good now. Note that you must
download the latest Avast from their website using the following link;
http://download853.avast.com/iavs5x/setup_av_free_eng.exe
After the program has been downloaded and installed on your computer, you
must then register it. For this part of the operation I usually use a serial
number to register my copies as I have always found it the easiest to do and
thats what we will do here. I will include a registeration number in this
tutorial for anyone who feels they want to download the software and register
it for themselves.
Here is the serial number:
C11956286H1200A0412-MKTKKCEV
[Instructions for installing the serial]
1. If you are using jaws the first thing to do after installing Avast 5
is to bring up the list of system tray icons. Use keys "insert + F11" to
accomplish this.
2. Arrow down to avast and then press tab key once. Here you will be
informed that it is a right click button. Press enter key to activate and open
up the right context menu.
3. Arrow down this list till you come to "registration" and press enter
key.
4. In here you will have to "tab key" four times to the button where
you insert your serial number.
5. Before locating the edit box where you insert the serial, you will
have to tab around a few more times in this dialogue in order to find the
button that again asks you to enter your serial number. Once you press spacebar
on htis final button, an edit box appears and you can copy and then paste in
the number here.
6. After you have inserted the number, tab to the ok button and press
the spacebar to complete.. Press alt + F4 to close up back to the desktop.
You're done,
Paul.
