I should add that since this was done, Avast has become less accessible and I don't think it is sufficiently accessible to be used with any screen-reader.

It does work with JAWS and there is really no reason why it couldn't
work with NVDA.

That's not surprising. Increasing numbers of antivirus programs don't work with screen-readers. It may work with JAWS; you might want to try JAWS to see but I'm far from optimistic.

If you are using Windows 10, Windows Defender is highly rated and well thought of. If Malware Bytes is still accessible, you may want to use that as well.

Hello there,


It looks as though the new McAffee antivirus doesn't work with N'Vda.
It simply says: "Chrome: Cannot read old Chrome."
