Hi

may i ask you why my legit windows 8.1 pro 64bit full updated doesn't warn me anymore when i run a program downloaded form the net ?

for example if i download a program like process hacker under w7 i have a window like this
6661.Securtiy_2D00_warning_2D00_in_2D00_Windows_2D00_7_5F00_68A71445.jpg

under w8.1 i haven't it
and i have never changed any settings

thanks

Windows 8 uses the SmartScreen filter to perform an application reputation check, and it now does system wide (not just when downloading programs with Internet Explorer like it did before).

In Windows 7 when launching these downloaded applications, you get the following notification:

6661.Securtiy_2D00_warning_2D00_in_2D00_Windows_2D00_7_5F00_68A71445.jpg


In Windows 8, SmartScreen will only notify you when you run an application that has not yet established a reputation and therefore is a higher risk:

8540.Security_2D00_warning_2D00_in_2D00_Windows_2D00_8_5F00_58B7CF81.jpg


The user experience for applications with an established reputation is simple and clean: you just click and run, removing the prompt you would have seen in Windows 7.

Your browser has nothing to do with it. That was only an example.
Windows checks if the application is signed and if not, then puts up a dialog.
If it is signed it just runs.

The application itself is digitally signed by the developer. So even if it was released today it would pass.
Test it? Sure, go find some torrent app or something compiled by someone not known by Microsoft as a developer and run it.
Got a good backup?
