Windows 10: How to Set IDM to scan downloads with Windows Defender?

Just finished removing my paid AVG after so many years to give Defender a try for a while.

What I need to know is which file (if any) do I tell IDM to use to scan completed downloaded files?

Is "MpCmdRun.exe" the correct file?

Thanks.

How to configure Internet Download Manager (IDM) to scan with Windows Defender?

Hi,

I´m trying IDM, I would like to test the antivirus scan capacity of it as explained here: How can I configure my virus scanner to automatically scan files downloaded with IDM?

But the problem is that I couldn´t get the right IDM configuration related to Windows Defender (Win 10 Home 64-bit Anniversary Update), specialy the command line parameters.

I tried with many many settings but without success.

Could you please post the exact configuration for working Windows Defender scanning just after download a file with IDM?

Thanks!

as a matter of fact am also searching for same... idm download -> window defender scan !

somebody help!!

 

Set it with mrt.exe or You probably need to scan it manually, from start menu, type: mrt
assume you have the file on desktop then see screen shot else select the folder where you have the downloaded file stored.

 

Thanks "topgundcp". That's one way to do it.
I was looking for a more automated file scan with no user interaction; like AVG does it.

I'll use your recommended option until a more automated method gets implemented.
