[QUOTE="Lucent Warrior, post: 544562"] I would like to point this out again. Please take a look at some of my videos residing in the reviews section or look at some of my posts still in the malwarehub, very seldom do i execute a sample and it bypasses Smartscreen "right there windows has blocked the problem" once LET past smartscreen, either a UAC prompt or the product im testing nails it or does not. This is part of Windows built in protection, now im going to also throw out there, i challenge anyone to download a sample pack and extract it with windows defender on, chances are if you have any left in the folder, it will not be many. All testers in videos disable smartscreen because they "want to save time" but it does not reflect the true nature of the OS and its built in security. What you read, will more then likely be quite different from what you will witness if you just test it yourself. All this said, i use Windows Defender with nothing but Appguard for those rare occasions something might bypass SS,UAC, and WD. Too many what if scenarios floating around in this forum now days, almost as bad as the scare tactics used on both sides of this fence, by the criminals and those swearing to defend you from them.
