How to make the downloaded files scanned by Symantec Antivirus?

Hi,all. I am using Symantec Antivirus. Sometimes I will add some files onto
the hard disk, and I use Flashget(software for fast downloading) to download
them. There is an option for installed antivirus software that can make
these downloaded files scanned for virus.I chose where the AT software
located and "Rtvscan.exe". But it does not work. After files downloaded, the
AT software does not start scanning them, but there is a window of command
line flashing for a second. I wonder if the Symantec Antivirus has scanned
the files just downloaded. Please help me.

What makes you think Symantec AV isn't scanning the files? Most AV by
default scans every new file created on your hard drive, without giving any
pop-up message. You could test to confirm your AV is indeed doing this by
using Flashget to download the EICAR antivirus test file at:
