I think that your test was done before I suggested removing the MOTW from installers (to simulate auto-update). If the MOTW is not removed after downloading then the installers mentioned above are allowed by ISG, because all of them are accepted by SmartScreen. Next, the system remembers the file paths of the allowed files and allows them even when they do not have MOTW. If the files are copied to another location, they are checked again, but now it does not have MOTW, so can be blocked. [B][COLOR=rgb(85, 57, 130)]You can have the same file in two different (non-whitelisted) locations. One can be allowed by ISG and the second can be blocked.:cool:[/COLOR][/B] This works well when the user downloads and installs manually applications. But does not work well when the installed application auto-updates, because the auto-updates downloads the installer without MOTW into the user Temp folder and executes it from this location.
