If anyone could tell me how i would scan files I have recieved through msn messenger with AVG before I open them it would be greatly appreciated

If you save them locally, you can right click on the file and select "Scan with AVG".

How would i go about saving them "locally", and thanks for the fast reply Hengis

I don't use MSN but I assume when you receive a file it goes into an MSN downloads directory or folder?

:-) Hey Ryan,

I use MSN, but I've never recieved a file, but I would be happy to test it out with you if you like.

Let me know and I will PM you with my info.

The is a setting within MSN messenger and you can set it to scan incoming files using a program of your choice.

See screenshot below:

Tools - Options then File transfer



You can then Browse to the program you want to use to scan msn, in this AVG. You should be able to use the link below.

"C:\Program Files\Grisoft\AVG Free\avgw.exe" /SE %1
