Intergration with Virus scanner?
 
Hello,
I love the simplicity of this program the only problem I've had with it is that it seems....too simple. A useful feature that I would love to see in it is the ability to be intergrated with a virus scanner that will automatically scan your downloaded files as the new files are downloaded.

And yeah those icons are too big.....

Great idea and many clients have considered it. I just don't know how effecient it would be, 3rd party software bundled to do such a thing would add a lot of weight to the client , extra cpu usage , updates , etc etc.

I have always been from the school of having your own virus scanner and the client should just minimize the risk with what methods it does know.

However this will be passed on anyway ;)

thanks for the feedback!

Norton scans every new file anyways, but it is a good idea

wasn't completely clear
 
Sorry, I wasn't completely clear. I'm not expecting the developers to code their own virus scanner or something. I just wanted an option to specify the path of whatever virus scanner the user has installed on their system (Norton, McAffe, etc.) and the command line arguments so that Xolox can automatically run it on the files you've downloaded. Thanks for the feedback. :)
