Hello,
i am a french user so excuse my bad english…
I am blind user of Avast Premium, bug it is not easy for mi to use this software.
I using the screen reader “NVDA” ( https://www.nvaccess.org ).
Avast is not accessible to NVDA.
Can you make Avast accessible with NVDA and so usable for blind users ?
Thank’s very much.
cordially.
Corentin.

Hi, this seems to be a false behaviour, that the Avast window doesn’t focus after starting the UI.
If you click into the Avast window it works (quite) fine. But we know it’s not a satisfying solution.
I’ll create a ticket and hopefully will be fixed it in the next update. We also plan to improve the accessibility in general, so please stay tuned…
