Also in situations like while downloading content you need to scan the content before you download.

Actually not quite as unrelated actually as they once were. With multifunction proxies that include firewalling, inline malware scanning on http proxy, and integrated mail scanning all in a device being marketed as an enhanced firewall, it's not as OT as you might think.
