For Windows users when Firefox 3 finishes downloading a file it will initiate a virus scan using any antivirus application that the user has installed on the computer. If you download a lot of files (especially large files) this can become a bottleneck for you as you wait for each file to be scanned, especially when many antivirus applications will automatically scan all incoming files. That means each file you download might get scanned twice.
By jumping into the about:config you can enable or disable this setting at your leisure:
- Name: browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone
- Preference Needs to be Created: No
- Preference Type: Boolean
- Default Value: True
- Possible values:
- True - Scans each download with the installed antivirus application
- False - Does not scan each download with the installed antivirus application
