Mark of the Web

The Mark of the Web (MOTW) is a security feature in Windows that helps protect users from potentially unsafe content downloaded from the internet. It is implemented by adding a special comment to the beginning of HTML files and other web-related files, indicating that the file originated from the internet. When a user attempts to open a file with MOTW, Windows may display a warning message or restrict certain actions, such as running scripts or accessing certain features, to help prevent potential security risks.

Usage

To add the Mark of the Web to a file, you can use the MarkOfTheWeb class provided in this library. Here's an example of how to use it:

// Add the Mark of the Web to a file
