      I've  been having trouble with HAVP on many downloads (I'm a newbie) where after trying to download something it gives me a "HAVP: Heuristics.Broken.Executable", it does that on many "reputable websites", such as trying to download virtualbox from sun's web site.

      after reading post:
      http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,47271.msg248569.html#msg248569

      and post:
      http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,34199.msg177408/topicseen.html#msg177408

      As I am too lazy to plug a monitor into my my headless pfsense box I stated digging into the gui on PFsense till I found on >>Services>>Antivirus>>HTTP Proxy, then to almost the end of that page a "Scan Broken Executables" check box.  As far as I can tell it will do the same thing as these posts?

      Is it "safe" to keep that service disabled?

      Once disabled my downloads are working again.

      I appreciate any comments.
