## Benefits of Windows Defender SmartScreen
Windows Defender SmartScreen helps to provide an early warning system against websites that might engage in phishing attacks or attempt to distribute malware through a socially-engineered attack. The primary benefits are:
- **Anti-phishing and anti-malware support.** SmartScreen helps to protect your employees from sites that are reported to host phishing attacks or attempt to distribute malicious software. It can also help protect against deceptive advertisements, scam sites, and drive-by attacks. Drive-by attacks are web-based attacks that tend to start on a trusted site, targeting security vulnerabilities in commonly-used software. Because drive-by attacks can happen even if the user does not click or download anything on the page, the danger often goes unnoticed.
