Can avast! be used to scan a download source before or during the download?

[REDACTED]

Hello and good day. I'm using avast! Free Antivirus 2015 on Windows 7. I have the option enabled to warn me when downloading a file with a poor reputation. However, I would like to know: is there a way to scan a download with avast! either before or during the actual download, so that I can stop the download if malware is detected?

Hi,

Usually, Avast will block the download of infected files automatically

Hope it helps

From my little knowledge, bad reputation file not exactly means always a infected file

Infected file will be usually automatically deleted

Hope it helps
