[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 984664, member: 32260"] The logic is simple. WIndows and AV vendors use MOTW to recognize if the file is downloaded from the Internet and use enhanced protection for such files (SmartScreen, CyberCapture, etc.). Other files are ignored, so the number of false positives is much lower. If the application makes an update the updater is downloaded without MOTW. If the enhanced security was applied to all files, then many application auto updates could be blocked, especially when enhanced security is based on file reputation (like SmartScreen). [/QUOTE]
