Google Chrome Ups The Game Against Unwanted Software Download

Google takes security seriously. Being the front door of the Internet for majority of the Internet users across the world, it's very important for Google to stay ahead of the game when it comes to security. Google's incorporated several security related features in their software over the time and has now made Google Chrome, Search and Google Advertisements even more secure. This time, Google's making sure that you do not download unwanted software from websites that trick you into downloading it.

Google recently published a blog post on their #-Link-Snipped-# that they are enabling more protection against unwanted software download. The engineering team at Google has expanded security related features to Chrome browser. The browser will now show a new type of warning (see below) before you visit a potentially harmful website. Google will maintain a database of all such websites so that users can be alerted before they visit such sites.


Google search engine results will also identify deceptive sites so that users do not land on those websites unknowingly. Google's also taking active steps to remove the advertisements from their advertising program that lead the users to website that make the users download unwanted software. This software can be of any type - from a simple adware to trojan or viruses capable of stealing important user data like credit card numbers, user's passwords or perform unauthorised actions on the victim's machines.

The website owners are requested to register their websites on #-Link-Snipped-# service offered by Google. The service keeps track of all the changes on the registered website and alerts the owner if any unauthorised, unwanted software or code is found.

With its reach and wide range of products offered on the Internet, Google continues to be an important warrior in war against malware.
