Solved Windows Defender Scan Downloads
It seems like I remember MSE under Windows 7 scanned downloaded files and showed a brief message sayint that after the download.
Since MSE is not in Windows 8, I wonder if Windows 8 scans downloaded files and Outlook emails?
Thank you.

Hello JJG,
Whenever you download a file from within the IE download manager, a security scan is performed on it using the
SmartScreen filter.
Any file that is opened in Windows 8 will also be scanned by Windows Defender and filtered by
Windows SmartScreen by default.
If one has a 3rd party AV program install, then it may also scan emails and downloaded files.
Hope this helps,
Shawn

Thank you.
Ooops! I should have mentioned I use Firefox. Is it the same for downloads under Firefox?
Thanks again.

For reference, Windows 8 Defender is pretty much a hardcoded into the kernel/OS version of MSE.
