Windows 8 (or 8.1) SmartScreen is a Windows feature that helps protect you from malicious sites and programs that could harm your computer. SmartScreen checks the web content you visit or software you try to install on your computer, and if it finds it dangerous, will then warn you by displaying a warning message and disable access to that content or software. At the same time, SmartScreen sends information about the content you access and its publisher to Microsoft SmartScreen online services to mark its origin as suspicious.
