Scanning recieved LiveMessenger Files with Avira Antivir Personal Edition (Windows)

How to ?

It’sz not that hard.

Download the command line scanner from avira and put it in your antivir directory. In WindowsLive Messenger go Extra->Options->File-transfers. scan your recieved files for virusses with the commandline scanner.

Point messenger to the command line scanner location.

in my case this was:

“C:\Program Files\Avira\AntiVir PersonalEdition Classic\avcls.exe” -s

put -s behind it. This is the commandline command to scan a file.

Now WLM will scan any incoming file with av and stop whinning about dangerous files.

[edit: it doesn't stop whinning, it just scans]
