[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 836237, member: 32260"] Any SmartScreen settings in WSC or ConfigureDefender (except Disabled setting) have no influence to SmartScreen check. The "Warn" setting simply allows the user to run the application. The "Block" setting does not allow the user to run the application. The "User" setting in ConfigureDefender applies the setting from WSC The "Warn" and "Block" settings in ConfigureDefender forces WSC to apply these settings and they cannot be changed by the user from WSC. If you do not see the SmartScreen alert then there are some possibilities, for example: [LIST=1] [*]SmartScreen is Disabled. [*]The file extension is ignored by design - SmartScreen is triggered only for some executables, like EXE, MSI, COM, SCR, BAT, JSE, VBE, etc. [*]The file has not MOTW attached. [/LIST] It is easy to check (before execution) if the file has MOTW: [ATTACH type="full" alt="MOTW.png"]225491[/ATTACH] Without MOTW, the Unblock option is absent. The MOTW is skipped for files stored on flash drives or unpacked by many unpackers. [/QUOTE]
