Hi all at the AVG community! I'm Ugljesa, and this is my first post here. :slight_smile: Through this topic, I would like to discuss with you one very friendly suggestion, that should be seriously taken into consideration, regarding the AVG antivirus and the new Zen network GUI. Since I'm totally blind and for my everyday computer use, I use a program called screen reader, which reads outloud all the contents on the screen using some speech synthesis, and thus making computer use accessible to the blind. I believe that many blind users use the AVG as the primary protection program, and so I think that the accessibility of AVG Antivirus, especially the Zen network interface, should be made much more improved and made the interface accessible to work with the most used screen readers! Since we use only keyboard to navigate the computer, the AVG Zen interface at this point is very much inaccessible, and much of the functions which Zen provides cannot be seen and accessed by screen reader. It is great that you based the Zen interface on some kind of web technology, so it renders on the screen like a web application, but the screen readers are not able to read and interact with the key functions like logging into my AVG account, creating a Zen network, etc. So I am suggesting that you make it much more easier, with simpler gui elements, providing much more textual descriptions more than just using some sorts of various icons and visual elements. Also, these elements should be readable by a screen reader, and the buttons, text fields, and other controls, easy to find and activate by a blind person, without sighted assistance.

I think that it's very important that you take accessible into a consideration much more when designing your products, because it seems that all other quality security programs, besides AVG, don't care about accessibility at all. By making AVG accessible for everyone, I think that you would be more unique and opened to all users whatever impairment they have.

I'd be glad to help with anything about the accessibility, and I could do some testings if you do some changes, and I hope that you'll understand and do it!

All the best!
