[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 778900, member: 32260"] That is right. There is the reason why [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)][B]SSS [/B][/COLOR]applies only such restrictions like Windows script blocking, and restricts only the installers downloaded from the Internet. There can be added some other restrictions like disabling remote features (Remote Registry, Remote Shell, Remote Desktop, and Remote Assistance). Those restrictions are not a big issue for most of the users who spent the time on browsing, mailing, using the social media, watching YouTube, or talking via Skype. SmartScreen Application Reputation is a very good reputation service for known software, and those users hardly need less popular applications. [B]Of course it is not the setup for MT users or many other users who like install very special, not popular applications.[/B] The[COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)][B] SSS [/B][/COLOR]is intended to significantly increase the security without losing much usability.
