Hi all,
We published another blog post this morning. This new post is all about the protections we have added into the new Microsoft Edge browser that will help protect you from potential malware and other unwanted applications. Please take some time and read about how to enable this new protection, and how to let us know if the application is reputable. Thanks, Elliot

Great feature. As far as real world testing goes, I have seen no alerts with this enabled. However, I do get PUP alerts from Malwarebytes. In the sequential scheme of things, Malwarebytes may well be intervening and triggering the alert before Edge picks up on it. A recent real world example was my trying to find a clean copy of ImgBurn. Malwarebytes triggered the alert on 5 different (relatively mainstream) download sites before I finally found a clean copy.

I had to turn it off. I have Malwarebytes which does this for me. I tried to D/L an app from the Knowbe4 group and the Edge tool would not permit it and even when selecting to allow it. No Joy!@Elliot Kirk
