If you frequently download files from suspicious sites, it's probably worth it to check for viruses Before you download, instead of waiting to see if your regular anti-virus software will catch it after you download.
It is very simple to check … You can use the Dr.Web plugin, which will add an item to the right-click menu to allow you to scan any web page or download link using their online virus checker.
Let's check it out… I decided to scan the Dr.Web Firefox plugin with Dr.Web, just to see what it would display.
Keep in mind that no anti-virus software is absolutely perfect or will catch every virus, so don’t take this as a proper anti-virus software this isn't a substitute for it. You should be careful about from where you download files.
This plugin will not work for webmail attachments. I tested this on yahoomail and as well as on Gmail and it didn't work, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, because it means your attachments are private.
So isn’t it a great plug-in to have??????
