AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition I

Written by shina on October 29, 2009 13:58

I did notice that you could use the arrow keys to move from item to item, within what I'd call a pane or frame of controls, and that a press of the Tab key moved focus to another pane or frame, where the arrow keys would move among another set of controls. However, it didn't seem possible to move th

Attempts to use the tab key to move focus around the user interface are pointless.

Upon opening the AVG 8 User Interface, it's immediately obvious that AVG significantly altered the AVG 7 style user interface.

I still feel this is an AVG error, not a Freedom Scientific error, but, at any rate, FS addressed the crash so AVG 8 no longer crashes when trying to open the User Interface.Upon opening the AVG 8 User Interface, it's immediately obvious that AVG significantly altered the AVG 7 style user interface.

Update: Prior to JAWS version 9.0.2169U, attempts to open the AVG User Interface resulted in a crash dialog of AVGUI.EXE with the Send, Don't Send error report buttons.

As I pointed out earlier, the default options seem okay, so it's possible to just keep ensuring you're on the Next > button, pressing spacebar on it until you reach the Finish button at the end of the seven step process.Update: Prior to JAWS version 9.0.2169U, attempts to open the AVG User Interf

I also happen to know that it requires very little programming effort to make software with an accessible user interface. This is a programming mistake that's easy to fix, but AVG apparently isn't interested in addressing it. Therefore, you must Alt+Tab away from your focus, then Alt+Tab again to ge

AVG 8 continues to suffer from some issues that have existed since I began using AVG back around version 7, and these problems were probably in version 6 as well. When you do try to open the user interface, you tend to need to select the item in the right-click context menu more than once, and, the
