[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 978188, member: 32260"] You seem to not see the difference between SmartScreen in the web browser (Edge, IE) and SmartScreen for Explorer (Windows File Explorer). These are different things. SmartScreen in Explorer works system-wide and it is independent of SmartScreen in Edge or IE. It was introduced in Windows 8. SmartScreen for Explorer is usually disabled when testing malware. As I said several times, this does not remove MOTW from files. That is true, but unrelated to MOTW, SmartScreen, and BAFS. Instead of saying this, please check it. Download any EXE file via Google Chrome and use the right-click Explorer (file Explorer and not IE) context menu. You should see something like that: [ATTACH type="full" alt="1646735829816.png"]264814[/ATTACH] If the file has not got MOTW (or MOTW was removed) then it will look differently: [ATTACH type="full" alt="1646736060534.png"]264815[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
