[QUOTE="Eddie Morra, post: 778402"] If Windows Defender is enabled and SmartScreen is enabled system-wide, then yes, downloads will be scanned on-execution by it as well (e.g. for executables, etc.) whether you're using Microsoft Edge, Chrome or Firefox. However, [USER=72227]@Raiden[/USER] summed it up brilliantly for the actual browsing side for web protection IMO. [USER=32260]@Andy Ful[/USER] has done work which is open for anyone to use which can enhance SmartScreen though AFAIK. He will be able to tell you more about it and how his work can help you with SmartScreen usage. [/QUOTE]
