[QUOTE="notabot, post: 795968, member: 75970"] To go off topic slightly, with Chrome GPO you can block “potentially harmful downloads”, which is different to “harmful downloads”, potentially harmful is whitelisting of downloads. It’s quite strict, eg it won’t let me download PDFs from my insurer while it will let me download PDFs from gmail (I assume due to scans in gmail) but for executables, this makes more sense, unless an executable is whitelisted (I presume by ESET?), it won’t download at all. So a 2 browser setup, chrome with this policy on for browsing and eg FF exclusively for insurance , banking etc is probably the safest for home users as this way they won’t download malware exes while browsing unless their insurer pushes malware. Ofc there’s weaponised docs to worry about too but using web viewers from gmail should again suffice. [/QUOTE]
