Firefox & Avast

Hi all,
Does Avast scan Firefox like it does IE? ???
As I cruise around using Firefox I notice the Avast icon does not spin.
Thanks in advance,Dave

avast resident scanner doesn’t scan until you download files & execute them…even for IE

if you use a download manager…you can take a look at this thread…

furthermore you can customise your resident scanner to detect virus in archives before downloading them…

hope this helps
