[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 847023, member: 32260"] The post was about SmartScreen anti-phishing and anti-malware protection in Edge and IE web browsers. This protection works before any malicious file can be downloaded, and also works on any Windows version with Internet Explorer 9+ (anti-phishing module works also on IE 7+). Additionally, SmartScreen is integrated into Windows 8+ operating system via SmartScreen Application Reputation. So, any file with MOTW (downloaded to hard disk) is checked by SmartScreen when the user wants to run this file from Explorer, or any popular web browser. [URL unfurl="true"]https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/threat-protection/windows-defender-smartscreen/windows-defender-smartscreen-overview[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_SmartScreen[/URL] SmartScreen and Block at First Sight are the most important Windows/WD features to prevent malware in the real-world scenario. AV testing Labs usually disable/ignore SmartScreen alerts after executing the files, but allow either "SmartScreen in Edge/IE" or WD "Block at First Sight" feature. It seems that in this test both features are bypassed by the testing methodology. [/QUOTE]
