Google Chrome Finally Gets Malware Download Protection

[win7holic]

Nine months after first being put into testing, the new version of Chrome will at last included filtering against inadvertently downloading malware executables, Google has announced.

Reported as being on the browser's long list as long ago as April 2011, the version 17 beta includes the ability to relate known malicious websites detected using the software's Safe Browsing API, blocking downloads hosted on such domains.

The release notes mention only .exe and .msi files as being covered, but the developers offer hope that this will be extended over the course of 2012. An earlier version touted improvements in malware-blocking, but other browsers still beat Chrome's capabilities.

I think that Google's Safe Browsing are not enough good. It's better than nothing, but we cannot it call effective ni efficient to find the recent malware sites.

Unless like Opera does managed to got a sponsored Malware Protection (AVG) surely if Google Chrome do it on that way then the percentage of protection isn't bad.
