Recently my Vista machine has started to hang during the virus scan, which happens after Firefox has completed the download of an executable file. Once the virus scan of the downloaded file has started, the machine becomes unusable and can only be restarted by powering it down. I am running fully patched up versions of Vista Home Premium SP1, NIS 2009 version 16.1.0.33, and Firefox 3.0.4.
Does anybody know a way to fix this? Failing that, how do you stop Firefox from requesting a virus scan of downloaded executable files?
Cheers
Neil
