Micorsoft Edge Smartscreen didnt' protect me
As you can see that I have a download from Edge from a website that edge allowed to open even though Defender said it is unsafe to open the download.
This is very funny and I dont' see the scanning file in the download UI anymore.
I already sent feedback,
Thank you,
Shawn
- And it's better like that because i don't want edge to refuse to download a "potential" treath, because it can be a good software
- yes i have (at the first version of edge) asked to have in the download history the result of smartscreen "normal" or "warning" but i must be the only one to have asked since it never have come.
- Be warry don't mistake the work of smartscreen for edge and windows defender smartscreen.
The first only check if the file is a bad file. The Second check potential threaths and a file who is not seen (firstime seen or blocked (right click you will see a case to check unblock)) it will trigger this warning- sometime i have this warning when smartscreen windows can't connecte itself to internet (one or two time a year)
