Google is introducing three new security features for Chrome that will help the company’s browser detect and fight intrusive extensions and invasive software: simpler warnings when extensions hijack settings, including the Chrome Cleanup Tool with Chrome for Windows by default, and integration of ESET’s detection engine with Chrome’s sandbox technology.



Sometimes when you download software or other content, it might bundle unwanted software as part of the installation process without you knowing. That’s why on Chrome for Windows, the Chrome Cleanup feature alerts people when it detects unwanted software and offers a quick way to remove the software and return Chrome to its default settings. We’ve recently completed a full redesign of Chrome Cleanup. The new interface is simpler and makes it easier to see what software will be removed.
