Suggestion; Accepting Files and Scanning. by Anna-Bubbles on 09-09-2010 at 09:31 AM

Hello. I use Windows Live to send files. I find the process easily accessible.

However, when the file is sent, I receive a "OneCare Saftey Scanner" window. This scanning takes a long time to finish.

So, I was wondering if there could be a "I trust this sender" button when receiving a file, or a "disable scanner" option in the near future.

Thanks for listening. :D

(Note; if there is a way to block this scanner, I'd love to be told.)

This would probably be better more of a suggestion for Window Live Messenger as opposed to Messenger Plus! live.

Under "Options" and then "File Transfer" you can choose the virus scanner (if any) to be used on incoming files.  Either set this to use your own virus scanner, or set it to disabled if you have a virus scanner with on-access scanning
