Is this an updated/improved version of their exploit shield that I ran for many years?

Hey Lal,

No problem. Malwarebytes has a good name in security, I’m sure the extension will serve you well.

I just added Malwarebytes Browser Guard extension to Chrome. I’m for extra protection especially when it’s free.
Thank you.

Thank you for the kind words Robert. Good to hear that you’re helping out others. For those of your clients who are not all that computer savvy I would definitely recommend installing the Malwarebytes Browser Guard extension.

I use it with the Chrome browser. I did notice that it was only available in the North American market.
Also I do computer repair on the side and have a small client base and have been helping customers for over 20 years now. That’s one of the reasons I read DavesComputerTips. Always something to learn. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Hey Robert,

Microsoft Defender Browser Protection is fine if not using Edge as the default browser. Edge already utilizes the SmartScreen service which is quite similar in terms of functionality.

The one aspect that sets Malwarebytes Browser Guard apart from the rest is its protection from tech support scams. As far as I am aware, this feature is unique to Malwarebytes Browser Guard. If you’re not concerned about tech support scams, and know how to recognize and avoid them, Microsoft Defender Browser Protection would be a good option.

What do you think of Microsoft Defender Browser Protection?
It is also free and I have been using it for over a year now.

Yes, the same (or very similar) functionality is included with Malwarebytes Premium.
