scanning messenger file downloads?

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

Hi everyone. Am really happy with this program :slight_smile: although I am not sure whether the resident scanner takes care of Yahoo and MSN messenger file downloads automatically or do I have to specify a location in the options/preferences on these two messengers to link Avast with the downloads? ??? If so what exact .exe do I link to in Avast?

Hello ā€¦I have MSN 6.0 and do you have go into the messenger tools options, messages then direct eith the browse button to make sure file transers are scaned? I hade to do this when I used norton. How do I know my incoming files are being scanned?

It should be picked up by avast automatically, provided youā€™re using its latest version (4.1.260 at the moment). To verify this, do some file transfers in the Messenger and watch the ā€˜last scanned fileā€™ for the ā€œInstant Messagingā€ provider (double-click the avast tray icon and select ā€œDetailsā€¦ >>ā€ to access it).
