[Hellfighter]

i disable it
windows 7 has it in Internet Explorer 9
tools\ internet option\ security tab click-on security [custom setting]

basic every site you go to MS get to know of it even it bad or good site
==========
now MS installing into Windows 8 per-installrd
they would know every software/ program you install before hand
all data/ action are know to them

link:
Windows 8 contacts Microsoft every time software is installed

what you download or buy in the store with your own money between you and the maker of it

sample: i love porn girls dancing on my screen, but i don't need other to know of it!
or who i am by name what i install sample novalogic, inc game they don't need to know

think this is over the top with SmartScreen acts more like a spyware knowing what your doing and maybe things your doing with the install software too, key punch to install it

i not a big fan of big brother! getting detail on what i doing

The "malicious software removal tool" in windows 7

(It was also in Vista but I'm not sure about XP, I think XP had another spy tool for that...starts with a "W")

It does the same... allow it???, select you updates manually.

It doesn't check for 3rd party malware so much as double-checks windows is legal again and it checks the registry for verification codes for their other software.

Then it checks all your drives and data including all your external drives.
it's Up to you...

Had a look at how to turn smartscreen off at the link you sent. Good but......
I wouldn't trust using any windows controls to do it.
I would go to registry and services (msconfig if it still exists in windows8) or somewhere deep down to do it.
Even use a live Ubuntu CD to remove certain critical smartscreen connection shtml, or xml, reg whatever, you can find it because windows is all still DOS deep down, even version 180,064 will be, they have trapped themselves in it, every version of windows ever made has traces and is still in there as placeholders, critical instruction data sets and basic programming that windows is built on.


I was a beta tester for Widows 7 and they didn't like my report.

there not the same

read this: http://log.nadim.cc/?p=78

removal tool it is in windows xp, but the smartscreen and removal tool not same at all item

i have use the removal tool in the pass manually, its a application work like a anti-virus scan scanning the system for item.

There are a few serious problems here. The big problem is that Windows 8 is configured to immediately tell Microsoft about every app you download and install. This is a very serious privacy problem, specifically because Microsoft is the central point of authority and data collection/retention here and therefore becomes vulnerable to being served judicial subpoenas or National Security Letters intended to monitor targeted users. This situation is exacerbated when Windows 8 is deployed in countries experiencing political turmoil or repressive political situations.

anything on servers is open to the court of law in the USA, but no then is 100% secure; mail, phone calls, telly type, internet, backup servers, even talking with others at a public bar can be use in the court of law or even con-artist can get the info use it as will

i wouldn't trust smartscreen, if they did install it into windows 7 i would do everything i could to disable it right off the back

RE: Malicious Software Removal Tool

If you have windows 8 you have both, you have the Smartscreen Filter and you will still receive the MSR Tool in an updated form periodically.
This will occur during routine Windows Update Executions.

When MSRT updates, and you set folder view to show hidden and operating system files you will see the folders and files created during this execution.



You will see on each drive the temporary folders where the data is collated.
For example a USB External Drive at E: would look something like this:

E:\S-1-5-21-2454196541-2260248685-763231877-1002

PS have you had a look at what they've done with the Bios?

Empty? mmm it seems to delete almost everything after checking like a temp folder but if you look with a partition tool or recovery scanner you may find otherwise...
