Google said the new features will arrive soon, but did not reveal an exact date. According to The verge, Chrome also will add the option to provide more in-depth scanning of any downloaded files, to help ensure you aren’t making your computer vulnerable to malware or viruses.

The update also will bring better protection for users before they install an extension and give it access to their browser and computer. Google claims it has seen an 81% increase in unsafe extensions being disabled through Google Safe Browsing. Soon, safe browsing features will give users a prompt if an extension doesn’t meet the parameters set for it by the Developer. Likewise, any extensions developed while following those guidelines will be considered trusted and let through without any issue.

Download protection is another key point Google will address with these additions. Soon, Enhanced Safe Browsing will offer more in-depth scanning of risky files, which it will block if they seem too dicey. You can, of course, bypass this blocking if you trust the download, but it will provide additional warning for any files you may need to worry about. To protect your privacy, Google says any uploaded files that are scanned are deleted shortly after.

The new features will arrive in the browser's current build, Chrome 91, which already added freezing to the browser.

Although Macs are less vulnerable to  than PCs, they're not immune to  adware, and other scourges. If you suspect some kind of malicious program has infected your system, here's how to identify the issue and clean up any OS X or macOS computer.

Your Mac's behavior offers clues that it's been infected. For example, the machine runs slower than usual, its fans run constantly, it stops responding, or it suddenly reboots.

If you find browser extensions, toolbars, or plug-ins you didn't install, notice third-party applications you never asked for, or your browser's settings have mysteriously changed, malware is probably the culprit.

An adware infection reveals itself with unexpected ads and pop-ups on your desktop, browser home page, or other websites you visit.

A variety of bugs and malicious software can infect your Mac, but the removal process is generally the same. Understanding the terms can be helpful.

A potentially unwanted program might perform some valuable function, but it comes bundled with unwanted side effects. A  might change your home page and search engine, add malware to your computer, or steal your credit card information when you pay for the application's dubious "service."

Often, people install PUPs because they were tricked by dishonest ads or clicked through installer steps without reading them. PUPs are the most common type of malware found on Macs.

A virus spreads from computer to computer like a disease, attaching to other files to infect more and more devices. Viruses use the internet, local network connections, or USB drives to propagate. There are a few steps to take to clean up your system and remove unwanted malware for good.


If you find malware listed in the Activity Monitor, select the application, and select the Quit Process icon on the left side of the top menu (it looks like a stop sign with an X).


If you know the name of the malware, find the application in the list. If you aren't sure of its name, look for any suspicious program you don't remember installing.


Login items are programs that launch automatically when your computer boots. If you see an application's window as soon as you log in to your Mac, that's a login item. Malware often sets itself up as a login item so it can relaunch every time your computer boots. 


If you see something on this list you don't recognize, or you see known malware, select the item and choose the Remove (minus sign) icon on the bottom.


Many forms of adware and malware install some sort of browser extension or change your browser settings in some way. Most commonly, they change your home page, search engine, or new tab page. Here's how to make sure your browsers are clean.


Next, look at your browser and internet preferences. In Chrome, go to Settings > Search Engine and make sure the search engine and browser settings are what you want. If not, select Manage Search Engines and remove any unwanted search engines.


To make sure you've removed every piece of malicious software, run a trusted malware scanner such as Malwarebytes. Malwarebytes scans your system for known malware. If any dangerous files are found, they're transferred to the Quarantine section, where they can be successfully deleted.


You can, of course, bypass this blocking if you trust the download, but it will provide additional warning for any files you may need to worry about. To protect your privacy, Google says any uploaded files that are scanned are deleted shortly after.
