[QUOTE="shmu26, post: 806137, member: 37647"] That's basically how it works, yes. When you choose "Run as SmartScreen," it tells Windows to check for a digital signature, to check how new the file is, how many people have already run it on their computer, etc. If it doesn't pass the test, it is blocked. But that doesn't mean it is malicious. It means there is an increased chance that it is malicious. For instance, let's say Andy puts out a new version of Hard_Configurator, and you are the first person to download it and install it. SmartScreen might block it, because it looks very unfamiliar. :) [/QUOTE]
