Protected Browse Extension

We're here to protect your PC from dangerous websites!

Not every internet content is safe, but usually you find it out when it's too late.
That's why we decided to create an extension that detects malicious sites and blocks them when you're about to land on them. Of course you can still decide to proceed to the website, but at least we warned you about the risk!
Just surf on the net as you would usually do, when you're about to open a risky website, we'll show you a danger-alert page, that will allow you to go back in complete safety or to proceed to the dangerous-site (if you really want to).
Our dangerous-website list is constantly updated, to guarantee you maximum safety.
Protected Browse will change your default search to Bing, in this way we can analyze your search terms to detect potentially dangerous search results.

Thanks to Protected Browse, you will safely browse the web!
♥It can be used in combination with your antivirus.
♥It's totally free.

To uninstall the extension, follow the instructions below:
