FYI, both Windows and Chrome (to an extent) can do this too. Windows will phone home to smartscreen scan downloaded executables, and Chrome checks every download against virustotal (owned by Google since 2013) for viruses to warn that software is malicious, and I've been burned by this a few times when a download wouldn't complete for multiple minutes due to this scan.

You still can run the same program checked by windows though, by opting in to use the program. And definitely you still run other programs as the check only occurs on installation, and not every time after running it.
