I remember seeing some of these scams for the first time back in about 2003 (over twenty years ago). I knew at the time that it was a scam because I saw a pop up telling me that my Windows installation was infected but I was running Linux at that moment and I did not have my Windows drive mounted. Whenever I went online in Linux I always made it a point to unmount the windows drive unless there were files on there that I needed to access at that moment.
How effective will this be? Surely an ad-blocker like uBlock Origin would be better or Malwarebytes browser guard. MS taking far too long to do something. I will not use this
I'm in the UK and can confirm that I have the "Scareware Blocker" available. Is this new feature essentially the same as what Google Chrome's Safe Browsing "Enhanced Protection" provides - as I note that it too uses AI as one of its security tools? I know you did a video on that when it rolled out originally. So that's my query, is this the same kind of protection that Chrome was already providing users with?

uBlock Origin also can protect you but it is privacy friendly!!!
It rocks. Is it available for Microsoft Edge too tho?
A pretty good feature to prevent scareware scam, but I wonder why it's off by default
Probably because it's only in Preview stage right now.

If their "AI" can't even write my papers correctly why the hell would I trust it for my security? M$ is such a joke these days

i hope it wont block stuff like explorer patcher just cause they dont like what is does
