Do you know - Chrome is getting built-in basic antivirus protection for your Windows computer.



ESET scanning engine now built in

"Our engine scans for and cleans potentially harmful applications, specifically the types that negatively impact or target the Chrome browsing experience," said Juraj Malcho, chief technology officer at ESET.

For what it's worth, Chrome, by default, automatically tries to stop software nasties from being accidentally downloaded onto a machine, by checking website URLs against lists of known dangerous and unsafe sites. If you surf to a website known for distributing malware, er, unwanted software, a big red warning will appear in the browser urging you to stop and go back the way you came.
