| | It does work pretty hard at reducing the functionality of open source and unsigned applications not officially or unofficially approved by Microsoft, whether they're safe or not.. for example, it attacks malwarebytes if you have the full retail version with the protection module and website blocker enabled.. and it's completely ineffective against fake AV scareware |
