I’ll just run the 2015 installer, have it download the newest version and I’ll have the 2017 edition of the software with no drama. I downloaded the 2017 installer, ran it and saw that it was just as inaccessible as the 2016 installer.
NVDA SCREEN READER SOFTWARE FREE DOWNLOAD INSTALL
This meant that I could run the nicely accessible 2015 installer and have it install the 2016 version.Ī few weeks ago, I saw that Kaspersky Antivirus 2017 was available. However, I was still able to install the 2016 version using the 2015 installer, because the installer presents a check box, which you would select if you want the program to automatically install newer versions of the software. Whether I used arrow keys or screen review commands, none of the text was visible to NVDA. Unfortunately, the installer for Kaspersky Antivirus 2016 was completely inaccessible to screen readers. Informational text and controls were also nicely labeled and installing it was both quick and 100% screen reader friendly. The installer for Kaspersky 2015 was 100% accessible, being rendered just as though I were reading a Web page. 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.
NVDA SCREEN READER SOFTWARE FREE DOWNLOAD 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.
