Google Chrome now more secure
Google is deploying improvements for its Chrome browser in its Windows version in order to surf more serenely.
Google Chrome already has tools, integrated or not, which allow you to navigate more serenely. But the firm now seems to want to go further, especially on the Windows version, the most used and therefore likely to be attacked. Thus, during the next few days via a progressive deployment several elements will make their arrival on Chrome.
Better detection of unwanted changes
First of all, when Chrome detects that the user settings have been modified without the user's consent (by an extension that changes the default search engine for example), the browser will display a message offering to restore the previous settings.
Then the browser will also alert the user when a download comes along with hidden software. The interface of this tool (Chrome Cleanup, now integrated into the software) has been revised and it should be easier to avoid unwanted installations. This improvement is notably due to a partnership between Google and ESET (the firm behind the NOD32 antivirus), whose detection engine does not, however, replace a real antivirus, but simply removes software that does not respect Google's conditions.
Google Chrome: integrated and efficient cleaning
Still, the less attentive users should better avoid the pitfalls and the time of a pockmarked Chrome and crumbling under toolbars and other disruptive elements could well be behind us.
