Virus Protection Dear All
Rather than LW Pro coming with it's own (or cut down) virus protection it would be better if there was a facility to make LW aware and use your existing anti-virus software, similar to the way Yahoo Messenger can by pointing to the scanner's exe file.
Most LW users have their own preferred anti-virus software, whether free or purchased, which they keep up to date with the latest definitions. It would be easier to have LW “made aware” of your existing virus scanner than bundle it with another one that would be either turned off or labelled as second rate.

PS. I just remembered that this idea was looked at already and dismissed because a downloading file cannot be scanned. However, to overcome this problem, a completed file can be scanned, this is the area of LW Pro that should be automated.
