[QUOTE="shmu26, post: 770212, member: 37647"] For the average home user who doesn't download pirated software in zip files, Windows Smartscreen will save him a lot of the time, even if his AV fails. I don't think Smartscreen will help much for weaponized MS Office docs, but most of those docs seem to be targeted to businesses. So the reality for the average home user may not be as rosy as the AV tests make it sound, but it is also not as gloomy as the Comodo CEO makes it sound. But he is right for businesses, and that is really the topic of his article, I think. [/QUOTE]
