ESET Works With Google To Halt Dangerous Malware
ESET,
a leading global cybersecurity company, today launches Chrome Cleanup, a
new scanner and cleaner for Google (News - Alert) Chrome designed to help users browse
the web safely and without interruption. Chrome Cleanup will be
available for all Google Chrome users running on Windows.
As cyber attacks become more complex and difficult to spot, browsing the
web can lead users to dangerous sites which can install malicious
software onto devices.
Chrome Cleanup will alert Google Chrome users to potential threats when
it detects unwanted software. Google Chrome will then give users the
option to remove the software. Chrome Cleanup operates in the
background, without visibility or interruptions to the user. It deletes
the software and notifies the user once the cleanup has been
successfully completed.
"Using the internet should always be a smooth and safe experience for
everyone," said Juraj Malcho, Chief Technology Officer at ESET (News - Alert). "For
three decades, ESET has developed a number of security solutions that
allow users to safely enjoy their technology and to mitigate a variety
of cyber threats. Chrome Cleanup addresses unwanted software that can
negatively influence a users' experience on the internet."
Chrome Cleanup is included in the latest version of Google Chrome. For
