Have you entered the avast scanner location into WLM, I guess that is what it is after ?
Assuming that you installed avast! in the default folder, this is the path needed to scan downloads, C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\ashQuick.exe

I say I guess because I don't use WLM.
Windows 10 Home 64bit/ Acer Aspire F15/ Intel Core i5 7200U 2.5GHz, 8GB DDR4 memory, 256GB SSD, 1TB HDD/ avast! free 24.3.6108 (build 24.3.8975.762) UI 1.0.801/ Firefox, uBlock Origin, uMatrix/ MailWasher Pro/ Avast! Mobile Security

Enter the information DavidR provided in the File Transfer panel of WLM > Options and check the "Virus scan box".

I think MS expect you to use their crap software (Onecare isnt it), for Messenger.
