Steer clear of any potential online threats with Browser Defender

November 5, 2008 in Software | Permalink

Even if you have an up to date security suite, every time you go online your computer is under threat from viral infection. Identifying and removing unwanted items is just half of the battle, preventing your machine from getting infected is just as difficult. Unfortunately, whether its pop-ups or malicious emails, programmers are developing ever more intelligent ways off targeting us. The only way of staying out of trouble is to identify anything that has the potential to cause any problems before your machine becomes infected.

PC Tools Browser Defender 1.0.9 is an extra tool for Firefox designed to identify anything potentially malicious. The toolbar displays anything that may be dangerous, from pop-ups to browser exploits. The tool will also warn you of any potential dangers lurking in any file you download before it's opened.
