More Protection from Unwanted Software
February 23, 2015
Posted by Lucas Ballard, Software Engineer
SafeBrowsing helps keep you safe online and includes protection against
unwanted software
that makes undesirable changes to your computer or interferes with your online experience.
We recently expanded our efforts in Chrome, Search, and ads to keep you even safer from sites where these nefarious downloads are available.
Chrome
: Now, in addition to showing warnings
before you download unwanted software
, Chrome will show you a new warning, like the one below, before you visit a site that encourages downloads of unwanted software.
Search
: Google Search now incorporates signals that identify such deceptive sites. This change reduces the chances you’ll visit these sites via our search results.
Ads
: We
recently
began to disable Google ads that lead to sites with unwanted software.
If you’re a site owner, we recommend that you register your site with
Google Webmaster Tools
. This will help you stay informed when we find something on your site that leads people to download
unwanted software
, and will provide you with helpful tips to resolve such issues.
We’re constantly working to keep people safe across the web.
