And System Access does have a free version (SA to go), and you can even
control it with JAWS commands.

Subject: Re: [VICUG-L] screen readers [and antivirus software]
NVDA is free, so I guess that would be your cheapest screen reader.
You'll have to see if it meets your needs and works with all of the
applications you use. You can download it from
http://www.nvda-project.org/wiki/Download. Other than that and JAWS, I'm
not sure how the other screen readers price out.
Since you're already using Microsoft Security Essentials on Windows
vista, I'd just stick with that. It's as good as any other antivirus
application with respect to virus detection. If you're using non-MS
applications, like Firefox or Thunderbird, you might be a bit worried
about how it detects virus threats coming in through those applications,
but if you're using MS applications then I wouldn't worry about it.
