As many of you might have noticed, Microsoft has launched a new feature to Windows Stay Messenger. SmartScreen is actually a handy bit of code that either enables a user to right access a whitelisted internet site, redirects the person to certain interstitial pages,Office 2010 Professional, or systematically denies direct access; all based on the content of a posted link.
Typically, a WLM contact list is populated by the user's friends or close personal contacts. Increasingly,Buy Office Home And Student 2010, "block-checker" and other services have been harvesting usernames and passwords for reuse as link-spam bots that typically message individuals on the affected user's contact list. Since a typical layer of trust is implied with previously permitted contacts, malcious redirection and malware installing links have become prevalent, as many users can attest. SmartScreen provides a barrier between these (and all) links that might be accessed by the consumer.
Sites that are known to harbour malicious code and/or phishing pages are automatically flagged with a block page.

This page acts much like Google's malware/phishing system; by forcing users to immediately copy and paste the link (along with providing a warning),Office 2007 Professional, users are more informed of the potential risks, including the distinct warning that the aforementioned website has been known to be malicious in nature.
Sites that have high-traffic and are known NOT to contain such malicious material are indexed by SmartScreen. Users are able to directly accessibility these sites with no impediment. Low-traffic or cases of minor abuse are prefixed with an informational page that permits the person to continue but also reminds the individual NOT to enter their Dwell password if so prompted.

Even as power users, we all know how a cleverly worded "Hey LOOK AT THIS PIC + link" can sometimes be enticing. To a normal user, the invitation can be quite desirable. With SmartScreen, Microsoft has added an extra layer of protection for the "average-Joe" and provided that extra half-second to remind a power-user that what they are doing might be costly. Through a clean implementation not only in Messenger but across Windows Dwell Wave 4,Office Professional Plus 2007 Key, Microsoft has taken a proactive stance to the most common social-engineering threat.
