If your are using Leechget with Firefox as far as I know you can not scan DL files via FF download manager (Only). Install FlashGot FF extension set Leechget as default download manager and all download will be scanned.
FlashGot is an excellent easy to install well maintained FF addon offering additional DL features.

Download FlashGot latest official release

To get my downloads through Firefox scanned using ashquick.exe I found that I needed to install an extension. The one I use is Download Statusbar.

As alanrf said there is no setting in the Firefox default download function. I use the SafeDownload extension, which allows you to set more than one scanner to scan the download.

Like David, I use SafeDownload extension.

Thanks!!

It is no longer supported, but this will tell you more and there is a download topic with a link, SoftwareBlaze Forums - SafeDownload.

There are other download extensions, etc. that allow for the addition of a scan of downloads, try a search for download in the add-ons/extensions area.
