Using the Webbrowser control in VB.Net 2005, how do you block behaviors like
downloading files, images, flash, videos, etc.?

Is there any way to intercept any file downloads (to scan for viruses before
saving to system or allowing the user to open them)?

Smerf,

If works like Internet Explorer, it is just an interop to that.

So if you cannot do that with IE, you cannot do that with the Webbrowser
(and AFAI you could only do as you asked with very old versions from IE)
