updating version of malware bytes?
Troy Burnham
Hi all,
I just installed malware bytes and entered my registration number but now how do I update the version? I'm quite sure that the version I had to install is quite a few versions behind what is current. Thanks. Troy

Re: KaiOS Algotel Go Flip3

It would be nice if Kaios phones could. Of course, there is just the empirical approach, if your phone works, signal strength is adequate and if it doesn't, it isn't, but it would still be nice to know.

I can check battery level in settings. The only thing I can't check that I want to check is signal strength. Gene

a jaws settings question
Troy Burnham
Hi all,
What jaws settings do I need to change so that for example when I use the windows key with a letter jaws just performs the function I want and doesn't say anything? I used to have it set that way but after having to reinstall jaws this week I've been all through the key labels in settings and can't seem to get it to do what I want, it says that I can't disable either windows key from speaking so what I want to do must be done some other way. I have both jaws 2018 and jaws 2021 installed and the same thing happens no matter what version I'm using. Troy

I was told ahead of time that Webroot would be installed, but I didn't have time to do any background checks ahead of time because I didn't talk to anybody about what needed to be done until I took the machine to the store.
The agent's big selling point was that Webroot could be used on multiple computers/iPads/whatever, and my mom does have an iPad so I figured that if nothing else she might use it.
When I've had my machine worked on in the past I knew the guy who was doing the work and he always kept me in the loop about what he was doing at all points but he apparently isn't doing computer work anymore.
I'll investigate and see how to uninstall Webroot then, if nothing else I might contact Microsoft disability and see if they can do it for me.

I only use the windows defender on my windows 10 pc. Back when I had windows 7 I tried web root and it blocked all windows comands and all screen reader comands. All that I would hear is the windows ding when I tried to enter a comand. I don't know if that problem has been fixt or not. You did not say that you werehaving that problem so they may have fixt that problem.

When blind people have their computers worked on,
they should try to be certain that no changes in terms of updating anything or
adding anything will be made without asking you first. Techs have no idea
what is accessible and what isn't.
I haven't discussed this much and I don't know the
best way to go about this, perhaps some sort of note all servicepeople will see
or something specifically given to the person servicing your machine woud be
adequate, but I'm not sure. Perhaps something such as a piece of paper
someplace where the tech will be sure to see it, such as on the front, perhaps
covering the power button might be a good idea.
Perhaps you can find out who will work on your
machine and talk with the person.
Perhaps, and I have no idea if repair places would
agree to this, some sort of written agreement might be reached that if
unauthorized changes are made, they will be removed without further charge to
the client.
Others may have experiences doing this and may wish
to comment. Or others may have comments, experiences or not. I
haven't had enough experiences with repair places to make recommendations based
on experience other than that I think such an agreement is
important.
