Disable Virus Auto-check in Firefox 3

Please be sure you are downloading safe files. This virus check is put in for a reason and should only be disabled if you are confident you know what you are doing.

  1. Type about:config in the Firefox address bar
  2. Now filter the following browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone
  3. Set the parameter to False

Now, Firefox wont slow down after every file you download.
