Direct download links SHOULD be scanned for malware.

Why This Matters

When direct download links bypass malware scanning, users risk downloading malicious files that can compromise their systems and network. This is particularly dangerous because file downloads often serve as a primary vector for ransomware and other malware infections. Administrators must ensure all direct download links are scanned to prevent these threats from reaching end users.
