Try changing the above setting from true to false.

(2) In the filter box, type or paste scan and pause while the list is filtered

(3) Double-click browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone to toggle its value.

That is about adding adding alternate stream data to indicate that the file was downloaded via internet.

See comment 3 in this bug report:
