[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 843623, member: 32260"] The most advantage will be on Windows Vista and Windows 7, because CyberCapture will work and SmartScreen is not available. On Windows 8+, the advantage will be for users who use SmartScreen only as a suggestion for further investigation to know if the file is safe. CyberCapture is very strong for EXE files, stronger than WD MAX Protection Level and probably very close to SmartScreen and Avast Harden Mode Aggressive. Yet still, CyberCapture will give much less false positives than Virus Total, SmartScreen, or Avast Harden Mode Aggressive. On Windows 10, there will be no real difference as compared to WD + H_C (with ConfigureDefender HIGH Protection Level), if the user respects the SmartScreen and does not bypass SmartScreen alert. Both protections are similar. Forced SmartScreen or forced CyberCapture can prevent users from running malicious EXE installers, which are run via the right-click Explorer entry - otherwise, the files (EXE, scripts, etc.) are blocked in UserSpace by H_C. This is the most important and very strong protection, which can hardly be bypassed in the home environment, except for some exploits. WD + H_C (no SmartScreen) and Avast + H_C (no CyberCapture) work as post-exploitation protection against all kinds of payloads (EXE, scripts, etc.) downloaded without MOTW by undetected/unblocked exploits.
