If you've played around a bit with Internet Explorer, you know that
IE utilizes a
feature called SmartScreen to filter and protect your system from harmful
elements. In fact, Windows 8 uses SmartScreen to filter the entire Windows
system, not just IE. You can find these settings in the control panels and in the
Action Center under the Change SmartScreen Settings heading.
There are three options: Require approval from an administrator before
running
unrecognized programs from the Internet (recommended); give a warning
before
running unrecognized programs from the Internet, but don't require
administrator approval; or turn off Windows SmartScreen.
