    re previous post, at the end of download Firefox gives:

    Patch64.rar Blocked: May contain a virus or spyware.

    The file is not on my PC.

    Never had this before, my anti-virus is set to leave files alone and notify, so how can I turn Firefox checking off?

    davee3 : yes, I know that. Firefox, now, is testing all downloads (about viruses or spywares). But, sometimes (often !) the detection is false.
    And the file is blocked without possibility of reaction (nowhere to optimise that).
    In that case, I use Internet Explorer and then the file is accepted.

    64 bit patch now downloaded and clean across 57 anti-virus tools:

    So how does Firefox do its analysis?

    Would passwords on rars prevent this Firefox download blocking?
