It appears to be an update manager for my motherboard, but it doesn’t seem too accessible with NVDA. Do any of you have tips or tricks for using it?

And it sounds, to me, like non-critical documentation that simply remains
un-updated.  They'd be better off not describing a Captcha at all, these
days, as they keep evolving.  Not to mention that I doubt there's a computer
user in existence who's not brand, spankin' new to computing who hasn't
encountered Captchas more times than they can count.

I actually haven't encountered a "pure" distorted text Captcha in a very
long time now.  Those were, undoubtedly, completely inaccessible.  And most
of the "pick the pictures that include . . ." ones I'm running into these
days have other alternatives, though typically a link needs to be activated
to get to them (sometimes it).

HI,

NVDA2021.2beta1 version seems to have improved the registration tool, can you give it a try?

Cheers

Jackie,

Think about what Webroot actually is and it's no surprise that a Captcha is used by the uninstaller.  It's just another way to prevent "bot uninstallation" without human intervention.  It's a security measure to keep a security program from being nefariously uninstalled by automated means.

Also, so you can hate me, I am so over complaints about modern Captchas, almost all of which do offer an accessible alternative to their solution.  They were horrible accessibility roadblocks, and for those rare sites or products still using "Early Generation" captchas, they still are.  But I have solved captchas, eyes closed, with audio challenges on more than one occasion, and that's the most common alternative.

Captchas of most modern sorts should be accessible.  They will pose challenges for those who are deaf-blind or who have significant hearing impairment if it cannot be addressed via hearing aids, but there are limits to anything that is intended to force human intervention of some sort.

Hi all:



The program is called web route security suite, which was included with
the
protection plan of my computer I bought three years ago. I did not
purchase
it again because it was too expensive, however, it constantly gives me
alerts about how it needs to be updated, which is why I want it
uninstalled.
When I try to uninstall it, it gives me an edit box, which I am not able
to
type because it is not accessible.
