Windows Defender has received a positive evaluation in independent tests recently.

I would suggest taking other precautions as well. For example, you can turn on memory integrity protection in the security settings, if your hardware supports it. You can also install Microsoft’s security baseline configuration, which enables various security features.

Hi Stanley. If you are using windows 10 you already have an antivirus program. It’s called windows security, or windows defender and is quite good.

No, it doesn’t affect screen readers. I’ve used it successfully without any apparent effects.

Does turning on memory integrity protection negatively affect how JAWS or other screen readers work?

Memory integrity protection uses virtualization hardware in the CPU to protect code in the operating system kernel from malicious modification. That, at least, is what I understand from the documentation.

It’s part of Microsoft’s strategy to make life much more difficult for malware authors, and therefore safer for users.

Hi,

I might have miss this but how do you make sure this is turned on?

I recommend persevering with malwarebytes despite a somewhat annoying interface. It’s certainly usable, if not the most accessible thing out there. The thing is, it is a really good programme and the people behind it really know their stuff. It has saved my butt on at least three or four occasions, or at least helped me deal with obnoxious unwanted crap on my system.

Only thing is, like many programmes of its type, you should always make sure you understand a little of what you are getting rid of, when it flags stuff. Sometimes it will flag something like a change you made to the registry (either manually or through some other programme) that you actually want to keep/is actually wanted. You have to understand what kind of stuff MB flags and why. For instance, I replaced my task manager with Process Explorer some time back. Malwarebytes thinks this is a potential hack and so offers to remove the registry change.

What about for windows 7? Malware Bites doesn't seem real accessible but I do need a good spyware program.

Are there any free antivirus programs out there that work reasonably well with Jaws?  Thanks a lot for the info.
