All I want to do is send a fucking ZIP file to my friend.
I'm not going to install an antivirus just so I can send files. Security in airports I can understand. Over-zealous security on my computer? Please go away.
I don't have an antivirus. Seriously. Common sense has kept my work computer safe for over 3 years now.
My solution? Fuck installing an antivirus and just run the command prompt.
- Tools > Options > File Transfer
- Tick "Scan files for viruses using"
- Paste in "cmd /k exit" into the textbox
- Click OK
Solution works brilliantly. No black box flickers, you can send files without any complaints and no registry hacks to allow file types.
