Win 10 Updates Are Double-Installing

It was me. What I can do is split the McAfee posts to a New Thread. Will post the link here when finished.

Windows has the Phishing and SmartScreen Filters.

Starting with Internet Explorer 8, SmartScreen has helped protect you from malicious websites and applications coming from the web using SmartScreen’s application and URL reputation services. To help protect people who use different web browsers, Windows
8.1 extends SmartScreen’s application reputation services to the operating system. The first time you run an app that originates from the Internet, no matter how it got copied to the PC, SmartScreen checks the reputation of the application based on digital
signatures and other factors. If the app lacks a reputation, or it is known to be malicious, SmartScreen warns you or blocks execution entirely. If you trust the app, you can choose to run it anyway. For more information about SmartScreen, see

SmartScreen Application Reputation.

Thank you A Guy.
That was a nice read.
It's nice to see that Microsoft is putting security on one of the front burners.

BYOD has got to be a scarey thing for I.T. departments. How does one check what else comes along with ones own device.
I do wonder how a I.T. department checks all those BYOD for infections before they are allowed to connect to the Cloud, network or domain. Just because one has the proper password to connect doesn't mean the hardware they are connecting is clean and safe.
