Guess I'm just stupid

Postby mdwannabe » 11 Nov 2011 23:12

Every place I went to ask this question always sent me to the wiki.
I have read every page and am still lost.
I run Norton 360 as my security program (includes Norton Anti-Virus).
Here is question:
When setting up Shareaza; Internet/downloads shows a (scan every completed file with anti-virus box).
My select Anti-Virus box is grayed out.
How do I enter Norton as anti-virus program; or does Shareaza automatically default to my Norton Anti-Virus?
Guess it's answered in wiki; but I sure can't find it.
Sorry for wasting responders time on a basic question, but I just can't find the answer.

no, you not stupid. the reason the feature is greyed out is because it has not been fully implemented. The good news is that it may not be necessary since most antivirus programs will automatically scan incoming files for viruses, and many will scan all files when they are run. My antivirus often alerts me of a virus before the file is even downloaded completely. If you are not sure, or you know for a fact that your does not, then you can always schedule an additional nightly scan of your downloads and incompletes folders (but this will not prevent you from opening infected files unless you wait a day before opening them)
