Blind users

Spybot-S&D has been adjusted to fit the need of blind (disabled) users. Already during the installation the user has the choice to create an icon to start Spybot-S&D in a special mode. It will also switch to that mode if it detects that accessibility support is installed. As a third option, the Settings page contains an option to switch to this special mode.

In this special blind user mode, the context menus (the ones that would appear if a user right-clicks on a list), the toolbar (usually at the top or bottom of each page) and the global navigation bar at the left are mirrored into two main menu submenus that the user can use for easier navigation. The two graphical lists (the results list and the recovery list) will also be switched to text format. As the checkboxes are not available in this text format, these lists will contain the text CHECKED or UNCHECKED at the end of each entry. This check option can be toggled using the space key.
