For now, this review will focus entirely on the accessibility of Kaspersky Antivirus with NVDA.Ī year ago, I started out using Kaspersky 2015 after using Microsoft Security Essentials for over five years, as I was not satisfied with the level of protection offered by MSE.
#Kaspersky antivirus 2016 key update
I will eventually update this post to discuss how the program performs when using Window-Eyes. Some of what I’m about to document may produce different results with other screen readers, so your mileage will likely vary. While I do use the free version of Window-Eyes as a secondary screen reader, NVDA has been my access package of choice since the summer of 2009. This review discusses Kaspersky Antivirus specifically with the NVDA screen reader. The operating system is Windows 10 Pro, although I started using Kaspersky on the same system running Windows 7. My screen reader is NVDA, running on a Dell OptiPlex 740 machine with 8 GB of RAM. What follows is an account of my experiences with installing and using the software from the perspective of a screen reader user. After reading a positive review of the product in PC Magazine, I decided to give the program a try.
The gentleman who worked on my computer recommended Kaspersky Antivirus.
I’m aware that many people have used MSE or Defender for some time and may never experience an infection but this was a choice I felt needed to be made. As I indicated in a previous post regarding screen reader accessibility of antivirus software, I felt the need to switch to a new antivirus program after Microsoft Security Essentials (Windows Defender in Windows 8 and 10) failed to stop malware from crippling my computer.
