it would be nice to see downloads being scanned automatically after a download is complete,similar to what is available in MSN Messenger 7 would be nice.

Not so long ago, I made the same point put forward by casey54, which I think you have misunderstood.

No one is asking for LW to have it's own built in anti virus scanner, which would probably be labelled as second rate. What you would have a facility that would allow your current scanner to scan downloaded files after completion.

That way LW users would be able to choose their own scanner of choice, whether free or not.

Yahoo Messenger (and I believe MSN Messenger also) allows your virus scanner to auto scan attachments after downloading them to your PC, why can't LW do the same thing with downloaded files?

i too would like to see a feature that allow files to be scanned with my AV after a download completes. i can see this kind of feature getting rid of alot of the malware on the network.
