What is a malware?
Malware is a malicious file or code that can infect your phone or computer.
They can use different techniques to attack your device and usually aim to steal sensitive data.
They can also monitor your devices’ activity and record it without your consent.
What has Google done about this?
By default, Google Chrome detects malware.
Some users will receive pop-up alerts that warn them of malicious websites that want to steal your data.
We have listed five of the most important Chrome messages.
The first message is:This site contains malicious code.”
It is obvious that the website you want to visit might be a dangerous one.
“Suspicious siteGoogle’s “” alerts you to websites that are not safe.
“Site ahead may contain harmful programs” is an additional warning users might see when browsing.
The site that you’re about to visit could try to trick or infect you with malware.
Users will receive a fourth pop-up message warning them:Deceptive site ahead.“
You should be cautious if you see this message. It could indicate that the website is a scammer.
The site may not be secure if you see this message: “This Page is Trying to Load Scripts From Unauthenticated Sources.”
