Hi, Lisa and all listers.
While I cannot give you any definitive answers, Lisa, I will take this
opportunity to inform all of the listers that Spysweeper (available from
http://www.webroot.com) is finally accessible with JAWS (I do not know about
Window-eyes). This spy and ad removal tool has been around for quite some
time, and because I am an MSN client, I was able to download it for free
(it's about $30 annually for non-MSN clients). I have not been willing to
recommend the program until now, because the program was largely
inaccessible. However, with the release of the latest version of the
software last month, Spysweeper is finally almost completely accessible to
JAWS users.
To all, take care.
Ted Chittenden
