The latest definitions for Vipre Antivirus from Sunbelt Software are flagging System Access as a trojan. this means if you reboot your computer, you will not have speech and will likely need sighted assistance. You may wish to run another screen reader to give permission to Vipre to allow System Access. You may even consider disabling Vipre, or even uninstalling Vipre until they have resolved the problem they have created.. we are in contact with Sunbelt Software at this late hour in the hope of resolving the issue asap.
