What is Run By SmartScreen?
'Run By SmartScreen' works only with Windows 8 and higher versions. It is based on a very simple idea to open/run the new files safely when using the right-click Explorer context menu. It covers in a smart way file opening in the User Space ( = everything outside %WinDir%, %ProgramFiles%, and %ProgramFiles(x86)% ). This program can manage files in the User Space, as follows:
Run/check executables with SmartScreen. Block files with potentially dangerous extensions. Open vulnerable files with the warning instructions. Prevent DLL hijacking of EXE files. Safe files are run/opened without warnings. Advanced users can apply 'Run By SmartScreen' for EXE and MSI installers (from sources not supported by SmartScreen) to force the SmartScreen check. Not Advanced users should consistently use 'Run By SmartScreen' for all new files.
