Does anyone know if the power automate flows, scan for Virus before downloading attachments and saving them to a sharepoint location?

Am looking at building a flow, to autodownload invoices from outlook email address and assign them to sharepoint folder locations.

Do i need to add a 3rd party Virus scanning software into the flow or is it part of the automate system to check for viruses?

I can't seem find any information online or in the guides about the system proctecting from Viruses

be great hear from you all

Hi,

In my opinion you do not need any additional virus protection because the basics do come with Microsoft 365 but the level of protection you need is up to you. In general, attachments are scanned in Exhange. Here's the flow to save your attachments directly when an email arrives with attachments.
