Thank you for sharing !


But could someone clarify me one thing ?
At least in all latest videos I see the ransomware would be blocked by smartscreen .

This is due to a particular way to perform the test or smartscreen would really pop up ?

I know this question sounds stupid but it seems strange to me ( since everybody try to use / develop new anti ransomware tools) , so just use w10 and you are safe now ?

No, just using Windows 10 will not make you invincible to malware (or especially ransomware); keeping SmartScreen enabled however will be beneficial to keeping you safe, as long as you do your research and listen to the alerts, and are not click-happy when online.

SmartScreen will alert depending on multiple factors... For example, if the program is unknown (reputation) and is not digitally signed, this will result in the alert. SmartScreen can alert for many genuine, safe (non-malicious) software as well; this is why it requires you to keep your patience and tolerance levels up, and to do your research.

The purpose of features like User Account Control and SmartScreen is not to automatically keep you safe from software with malicious intention ("malicious software"), but to help keep you safe as long as you pay attention and use that special and most powerful program called brain.exe.

Thank you ,Yes I know.
But smartscreen would pop up also in my PC right , as far as it is enabled ,or it depended on other settings used in the videos ?

I use a standard account with UAC max and smartscreen enabled anyway
