Hello eager to learn,
yes, you will get a prompt when you select "scan file.exe" from the right click context menu. but for how much time the prompt remains on your screen(monitor) depends on the size of the file.
let say that we have a 0.5 MB file and a 25 MB file.
using common sense, the time required to scan 0.5 MB file and 25 Mb file are different.
the 0.5 MB file can be scanned in, say, 1/4 th of a second and 25 MB file scan be scanned in 30 seconds. as you can see, and sense, 1/4 th of a second is too less and hence you wont be able to see the prompt. it comes and goes in a matter of less than a second.
but 30 seconds is more and hence you can see the prompt of ashquick.exe.
(do it yourself : try scanning a huge file, say a 50 MB or a 100MB file (if its huge enough
) and observe that you can see the prompt.)
Download mangers are those which help in unattended download management of data(as the name says).
for the user convenience, the coder who has written the code of the software will include many options.
since the files you are downloading "might be" malicious, you have to be given a chance to automatically invoke a antivirus scanner. after all it is for unattended download management and hence for user convenience.
so coders who suspects this need of a user of his software, will add an option to invoke a antivirus scanner.
In the download managers I suggested to you earlier, you can do this by simply adding a command line in the settings. but that changes with the download manager. if you use fdm(free download manger) it will be different and for orbit downloader will also be different.
