Re: Minimal User Interaction with Links

[Micheal Espinola Jr <michealespinola () gmail com>]

If I understand you correctly, it means that your AV intercepted the
request, and reached out and touched/scanned this file before allowing
your application the option of downloading it.  Of the ones I am aware
of, NOD32 does this cleaning with no other download/save prompts -
only a popup saying the connection was terminated and that the file
was quarentined.

Symantec does similar, but you are still left with a save prompt.  If
you choose to save (with Symantec), you then receive an error.

Under normal circumstances, no, it is not possible in this day and age
(i.e with an up-to-date OS) to automatically execute/save a file by
clicking a link.
