I don't know which .exe to point to in the MSN Messenger options menu. Anybody know? I've tried the basic "scan.exe" (or whatever it's called), and it pops up saying "invalid parameter"... is this something to do with disabling the annoying update pop-ups?

Yes avira scans the files when you save/open them.

Well there is an option in MSN Messenger for you to specify the .exe that scans when you receive files. Without this, all sorts of warnings pop up (lol). I can't seem to get the right .exe so can anyone give me the name that works for them?
-
you need the proper parameter so it knows which file to scan.. For AVG, it was /SE * to scan incoming files using the shell extention

Ahhh that would make sense! I'll have a look around the Help files and see if it mentions it anywhere... or maybe the readme has it. But if anyone knows, feel free to spare me the trouble!

Did you ever identify which .exe file in the avira folder you need to direct MSN to in order to scan incoming files?

Avira's guard function already scans all files, read & written, by default.
If it finds an infected file, whether this comes through MSN Messenger or not, you will get a popup automatically.
However, if someone would like to have files, coming through MSN Messenger. checked twice, than check this Avira forum thread.
Cheers.
Can Avira scan MSN transferred / received files?
