[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 974092, member: 32260"] That is normal for Firefox (did not test Opera). Defender does not automatically check files downloaded by Firefox. (y) If the file is an executable, then after manually opening the Download folder it should be checked via Defenders "Block At First Sight", but it seems that this does not work flawlessly. In Edge, the "Block At First Sight" is triggered automatically. Post edited. "Block AT First Sight" sometimes works for files downloaded by Firefox and sometimes not. [/QUOTE]
