I hate, when Anti-Virus-Software is presistent and running all the time; attachments can be easily controled by accepting only the PGP-signed ones from people you know -> so the only way of getting infected of a virus is: downloading it the mozilla download-manager or download-properties give the option to: -launch file -show file location -close but there is no option to -launch virusscan (in Preferences, there should be an option to specify the virusscanner or a command-line to run) now if files have to be scanned, you have to do it manually --- and in most cases scanning them is a good idea
