Re: WPA_Kill.exe false positive in Avast?

Sometimes you need to scan messages comming to your mail to check if it
contains some viruses or malicious programs. Also in situations like
while downloading content you need to scan the content before you
download.

No, you don't.

Besides, what exactly does any of that have to do with firewalls?

Actually not quite as unrelated actually as they once were. With
multifunction proxies that include firewalling, inline malware
scanning on http proxy, and integrated mail scanning all in a device
being marketed as an enhanced firewall, it's not as OT as you might
think.

Was the post nearly imcomprehensible? Sure. OT, ... meh.

You have a point, although I'd doubt that the OP was meant that way.
