I for one don;t like how this is going since edge is getting a good score on this result.

Can you see if you have the same result in your version of edge

I see, what do you mean exactly?

It also seems that Edge isn't that good with the audit system as well. It has a lot of bypasses. This is horrible and needs to be fixed.

"Got it, I will take a look right now. Regarding the situation with window defender, usually Windows Defender will flag and it will make sure to scan first. If this Defender finds issues with this application it will not run it or it will delete it automatically.

Edge can block it if the file itself it a .exe file, or a program that can harm the device or the surface. But since this is a .zip file, edge just downloaded the file in your downloads folder. You can change the settings for this on "Settings" on edge, and in the search bar, you simply type = "Block Potentially Unwanted Apps". And it will make sure to block zip or exe files that can harm your windows.

But it will allow you to run it at your own risk."

This is what a Microsoft Agent said about the issue, so it should have been blocked but it seems that zip files are the issue

i think (for now or for technical reason) edge do a basic AV scan, in the report i have asked if it's not plannet to plan a more profund scan like the one generated on launch (i also added the link of the file like that they can replicate).

Yes, so do you think that Edge doesn't have that scanning protocol? Is it a bug or is intentionally or wasn't implemented in 88?

i have seen this scanning but it was so fast that i don't have seen it long, but suspect edge trigger a normal scan (manual defender scan don't find anything too), its when we try to open it that the scan block it.
So edge have maybe forgotten ont type of scan (or don't do it by default from some technical reasons).

Also can you please also report that file as unsafe as well?

I also noticed that the site that is redirected to report it says is this a safe website? It should be download not website????

Thank you for understanding!! 🙂


I used to see when it was downloading, after it was finish, it would say scanning files. Is that a bug?

i indeed have the same defender smartscreen warning will report it too

Thanks for reminding me 🙂

Here is the link, I am not saying that the file is unsafe and I just wanted to make sure that the team is aware of ti. SInce the edge documentation says that any unknown apps will be blckeed since it may hard your pc.

Here is the download link 🙂

don't forget the link of the "uwa" you have downloaded (with a spoil or a warning) : for reproducing purpose (if people want to know if it's a bug of one version only or all version of edge).

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/DeployEdge/microsoft-edge-security-smartscreen

According to this, there should be a warning if the download may harm your device, and it will be synced with the defender server since edge sents the info the server to start a security check.

So this was a bug that Edge didnt' was able to detect.

Thank you,

Shawn

I see, that is why I am asking why it is taking so long to get that synchronized since they say Edge is the safest browser but this is a simple bug
