SafeDownload is a Firefox add-on that scans downloaded files automatically to ensure they are safe, with no viruses or harmful components. It adds an extra layer of protection to your browsing experience, giving you peace of mind.
SafeDownload works particularly well with NOD32 anti-virus, but it's compatible with Firefox and Flock regardless. If you're using SeaMonkey or Thunderbird, you can still install the extension, though there may be some compatibility issues.
One of the advantages of using SafeDownload is that it allows you to configure up to four on-demand scanners, which can be particularly useful if you have multiple anti-virus programs installed. By enabling one scanner for real-time protection and using the others as on-demand scanners, you'll have an extra layer of protection against viruses that your main scanner may miss.
Another benefit of this extension is that it automates the process of scanning files with different anti-virus programs. Instead of manually scanning each file, the SafeDownload extension does it for you in the background, which can save you time and hassle.
There are some requirements for using SafeDownload - you'll need Firefox 1.5 or later. But if you meet those prerequisites and you're looking for an easy and automated way to keep your downloads safe, this extension might be worth a look.
