Security and
privacy are very important factors for users. There are many risks that we
can face when surfing the net. However luckily we also have many tools
with which we can protect ourselves. In this article we are going to talk
about the stable version of the Malwarebytes extension that
is designed to protect our Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox browsers. Smart Pill
Stable version of Malwarebytes extension available
Extensions
for browsers are very useful to protect our systems. We can prevent the
entry of malware through the pages we visit, for example. One of these
options is Malwarebytes, which allows us to protect our Google Chrome or
Mozilla Firefox browser. So we can navigate in a more reliable way.
It
should be mentioned that the Malwarebytes extension is not something new. In
fact, he has been with us for a year. However, until now it was a test
version. Now we can show the final version of the Malwarebytes
extension .
This
extension is called Malwarebytes Browser Guard . However,
although the idea of the developers is that they work in both Chrome and
Firefox, at the moment the stable version is only available for the Google
browser. After all, it is the most used and, ultimately, where more users
can benefit.
We
can download it from the official browser store . As
we always say, we recommend downloading this type of program always from
official sources. In this way we avoid adding software that could have
been maliciously modified. Once we have installed it, it will add an icon
to the browser bar . So we can manage the options
that it shows us.
Protects
against different types of threats
Malwarebytes
Browser Guard mainly protects against possible malicious programs that
we download or install, scams such as Phishing attacks, trackers ... Everything
that can compromise the security and privacy of users when browsing. Of
course, we can always create a white list so that it does not act on a specific
page. We already know that sometimes antivirus and any security tool could
detect something that is not really a threat.
It
also allows us the possibility of activating or deactivating certain functions
that may or may not interest us. All of this is available in the Settings section . It
also has a page where it compiles all the statistics. So we can see, for
example, the number of trackers that you have avoided in the last 30 days.
In
short, for those looking to improve their browser security, a good option is
Malwarebytes Browser Guard. It is now available in its stable
version . Of course, as we have indicated at the
moment it is only available for Google Chrome and browsers based on it. At
the time we will also have it available for Mozilla Firefox, where so far they
only released the trial version.
In
any case, from Rede Zone we recommend having security programs installed on our
computer, beyond this type of extensions. It is important that our system
has security measures and also that it is updated correctly.
