I would be content if this was done by a FireFox plugin. This is a common feature of other download managers such as GetRight. And in a world of viruses, trojans and other nasties, the sooner any new file to my machine is scanned, the happier I will be. I am unaware of cross-platforms needs as I am a Windows user. But I feel virus scanning is a missing feature that is important to the security of my machine - especially on a Windows machine ;-). Reproducible: Always
Reporter, please look before you file a bug. This is a dupe of bug 103487, and there's already an extension that does this : http://downloadstatusbar.mozdev.org/downscan/ *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 103487 ***

My apologies for creating a duplicate bug. I realise duplicates waste peoples' valuable time. I did search for the keyword 'virus' before creating this enhancement report. I got no results for my search (which did surprise me at the time). I have now looked at the other bug 103487.
