slowday444 Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 I've been using Ff for years and v3 since whenever, don't use any download managers. I always notice at the end of the download, but before the Sandboxie recover option opens, the file is being scanned. I always just assumed it was an action built into NOD32. I guess not! http://www.pcworld.com/article/159123/safe...ml?tk=rss_howto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted February 22, 2009 Moderators Share Posted February 22, 2009 An added layer of protection maybe however I have my doubts that it's using "your antivirus software" to scan the downloads unless pointed to an actual and official Mozilla article. My doubts are because I use Avast and the scanning engine takes longer to load on average than the "virus scanning" service done by Firefox 3. I also wouldn't trust Firefox 3 to catch something a traditional antivirus, or modern antimalware program such as MBAM would catch. You should still scan your downloads with the security software you have installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
