(just as different sighted people can read at different speeds). I would suggest the choice of synthesiser (which is an entirely personal choice - no-one else can tell you what you find easiest and most pleasant to work with) is going to make the biggest difference to how fast you can listen.

Unchecky hasn't had an update in ages. But if ccleaner is becoming dangerous and virus like, I am going to have to concidder taking it off all my networks, and never using it, I really like to do this from time to time but who knows. I may have to use a portable one for now its been fine for me. There are 2 tasks, a skip uac and a ccleaner update task it says its for installing emergency updates to it, but I just hope its not doing this avast thing. It would be fine if the suite were accessible and working and they listened to users but its not really.

Tips for speed reading /listening with screen readers
Akshaya Choudhary
Hello season users of screen readers!
Advice me on this. I'm a student and require to read large texts on regular basis. Although, this is something I love doing, it would be very beneficial if I could improve my reading, or shall I say listening speed, with NVDA. I would like to retain the same level of comprehension I have right now at higher speeds. I have gradually moved up my way to 95% without boost in NVDA, so I know it could be done. But, I'm finding it difficult to move forward. Also, beyond 95% and in boost mode Espeak MAx starts to flutter. It is still very comprehensible, but the fluttering voice is annoying. Can you guys suggest me ways to upgrade my listening game? Do I need to switch to a different variant voice of Espeak or shall I change my synthesizer? Is there a cap to how fast can we listen? All suggestions are welcome! Also let me know at what speed rates do you guys read your screen readers on/ Regards

Re: I think Avast is a virus :-)

We are still assuming that ccleaner is the source, but the point is, for me to get the machine back into pristine condition will be so long winded when its in use every week would not be realistic. It needs to be patched. I bet the dropbox issue is some unregistered dll, and the other issues is a task somewhere charged with pestering the user. Since I have the same ccleaner here at home and have managed to keep sighted people off, it has also done its damage, but thus far I've managed to avoid any reinstalls of avast itself. I'm thinking of adding it to the firewall blocking but its knowing what to add that is the issue, cos I bet its not going to say its avast is it?

No you have to go to the ccleaner web site and click on the free version when you do an update. It never asks about anything else most of the time. Not even unchecky spots anything either.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
In fact I've been running this version of Ccleaner for some weeks since mid June with no problems and no sign of avast until yesterday. I think its actually a task and one that only runs when a registry entry time period is past a certain time, say a month. At that point it uses the background to download the latest version of avast, then waits for the machine to be idle for a while and than then asks you to install, but even then I think its already installed and all it will do is to run its self and add the autostart to the start up process. The service and disabling of msse will be already done. Its bad practice, arrogant and invasive. Brian bglists@blueyonder.co.uk Sent via blueyonder.

I have also use superantispyware. As long as you use it from the tray icon you can get at things, but if it auto runs the screen never seems to get focus by default. Its a pity they cannot sort out these little focus and listing issues. However my old MSSe seems to still spot the nastier nastiest. I do not believe anyone can sit back and assume all is safe. I find that its the sighted who seem to have less likelihood of spotting their actions end in malware or whatever.

Yes the problem is they seem to be completely cavalier about us as a possible customer. if they fixed their access issues then maybe its worth it, but thus far Avast has given me more grief and possibly damaged windows merely because its inaccessible. The problem with my other machine is that as I said in my first post, as its used by sighted people too, many are inattentive and simply click first and then forget about it. I only encountered this because it asked to restart now or later when a sighted person was there trying to record audio. I immediately smelled a rat as all windows updates even dropbox have been disabled as we are on a mobile dongle internet connection and obviously the machine rebooting in the middle of a reading is hardly ideal.

I'm sorry I do not agree with you. Maybe it is that their design of their offer is inaccessible. I cannot tell, but I think its not based on ccleaner updates but on a timer written to the registry, so nobody is going to know what triggered it to download it. it does this in the background and seemingly partially installs it as well, only writing the do you want this to auto start as its last task. Luckily this last time I had installed a register monitor and it came up and said, do you want avast to auto start went eye machine restarts, to which I said no, but by then all the files were back on and in their places and the avast service was running.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
The program even hid the Microsoft security essentials protected icon. So, I think while maybe not strictly a virus, it is sharp practice by doing these things they are making it look like its a very fast install, when its done it by stealth in the background. There could even be a service in there that is still there when ccleaner is taken out. I doubt if its visible in the task scheduler. Even if it were, the current nvda crashes the task scheduler of windows in 7, which is a known issue, to run it you have to do so without nvda then run nvda afterwards once it is running.

Actually Ccleaner can be tweaked so its reg cleaner only looks at the safe to remove clutter. actually to my mind its all the left over files and badly uninstalled context menu entries that it seems best at getting rid of, also I find it quite handy to keep the room used by system restore very low. It also shows you what add ons are in IE and Firefox and one can also see start up items and disable them as well. its all in the one place and has been, I think well designed. its not obvious that the avast problem is the thing ccleanerr is doing of course but they always used to insert in the registry no google or whatever offer until and a date in the registry. and I suspect that now they are owned by Avast they are working the same trick here, but I cannot find it in plain sight in the registry as it used to be before.
