I've read advice on the Web to scan new files for malware. The same article--seemingly supported by Microsoft, at Microsoft Safety Scanner Download - Windows security--says that for those like me who have no other antivirus, MS Defender always scans files before they're opened. So it appears that [1] I don't have to worry about scanning new downloads, since they'll be scanned automatically, and also that [2] using MS Safety Scanner would be redundant. Do you agree?
