Hi! This is Mike Callahan, Dr. File Finder and welcome to part five of our butterscotch.com 10 part series on Google Chrome. Today, I'm going to take a look at the safe browsing feature that’s built in to Google Chrome. Now in that business that they’re in of providing search results and Ads on webpages, Google encounters millions of webpages so with that experience and information available to them, they put safe browsing as an integral part of Chrome.
So, if you should encounter a page that Google has already encountered that they believe it contains malware, you’re going to get a page that looks like this and the background is a dark bright red and it has warning visiting this site may harm your computer, it gives the main link of the site. It tells you that it appears to host malware. It gives you the option to learn more about how to protect yourself from harmful software. If you’re really smart, you’ll probably click the back to safety button. If whatever reason you believe either Google is wrong or you just want to be there in, then you need to click the box that says I understand that visiting this site may harm my computer and then click proceed anyway.
Another page that you may see from Google safe browsing is this diagnostic page that gives you the diagnostics from Google for a particular domain. So, it says this status for this domain that’s currently listed is suspicious, what happened when Google last visited this site? Does it have any malware on it? No, it hasn’t on the last past 90 days and so on. So, these things give you valuable, helpful information to keep you and your family safe while you’re browsing on the internet and that concludes part five.
