SmartScreen is a feature in Windows 8.1 that alerts the user when they try to run unrecognized apps or files downloaded from the internet. It checks the downloaded files against a list of known malicious software and issues a warning if a match is found. This provides an extra layer of security and helps prevent the user from accidentally running harmful software.
