[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 1085058, member: 32260"] RunBySmartscreen could help if the ransomware were downloaded and executed by the user, because almost all ransomware samples are unsigned or signed with fake certificates. In such cases, the malware is blocked by SmartScreen. RunBySmartscreen ensures that the file will be checked by SmartScreen file reputation in the cloud. But, this can be done only on-demand, via 'Run By SmartScreen' option from the right-click Explorer context menu. Unfortunately, in most cases, the ransomware will not be run by the user: [URL unfurl="false"]https://malwaretips.com/threads/how-secure-are-you-testing-windows-defender-against-ransomware-shocking-results-2024-tested.130668/post-1085059[/URL] In most cases, RunBySmartscreen can be useful to prevent the initial malware that could execute ransomware.
