ESET has announced that it is continuing its collaboration with Google to protect Google Chrome users
Award-winning technology from ESET, a global leader in the cybersecurity market, is used by Google to scan, identify and remove malware encountered by Chrome users on Windows devices.
Thanks to the extension a Chrome Cleanup, part of Chrome's Safe Browsing feature, strengthens the close collaboration between the most popular browser in the world and the technology of Europe's leading cybersecurity provider.
The two companies enjoy a broad relationship that also includes a collaborative role in which ESET works closely with Google to ensure the security of the Google Play Store as a partner of theApp Defense Alliance. ESET also provides data to users of Chronicle, Google Cloud's security analytics platform, to surface verdicts on malicious files.
As applied in Chrome Cleanup, ESET's technology is used by Google to alert users to unwanted or potentially harmful software attempting to enter users' devices invisibly – for example via legitimate content. Google Chrome, using ESET's security technology therefore provides users with the ability to remove unwanted software. Chrome Cleanup works in the background, invisibly and without interruption to the user. It deletes unwanted software and notifies the user once the cleanup is successfully completed.
"We are proud to partner with Google to provide more secure technology for Chrome users," he said Jurai Malcho, Chief Technology Officer at ESET. "The collaboration with Google and Chrome Cleanup demonstrates both companies' commitment to keeping users safe and secure. With Chrome being the browser of choice for most Windows users, ESET's technology and engineers are providing maximum frontline protection."
