Every time I want to download a file from my browser, it shows Microsoft Forefront Threat Management Gateway scanning the whole file first, then I am allowed to download it. This happens only when I use WiFi at an institution and not at other places. I think it has to do with the institution's network settings. There is no "Microsoft Forefront Threat Management Gateway" in my Programs And Features and I have never installed this program.

How can I bypass the scanning and go directly to the download?
 
This is a form of proxy server and since it sounds like you did not have to change your settings it is running as a transparent proxy. This is a hardware device on their network nothing on your machine.

The solution is the standard proxy bypass...build a vpn tunnel of one form or another though the proxy. The simplest being a internet based proxy.

If they don't want you to do that though they will have blocked you access to any site that can provide that proxy/vpn services.
