Why Use Browser Protection?

Hackers and cyber criminals constantly look for new ways to get access to your data or make money from unsuspecting users. Getting your home page set to one that will take you to advertisers’ websites, modifying your DNS settings to open doors for malware, tracking your activity to collect personal data or tricking you into downloading their malicious apps – those are the most common methods cyber crooks use to get to you via your web browser. With BoostSpeed, you no longer need to look for new ways to protect Firefox, Chrome or any other browser. Its Browser Protection tool offers secure mechanisms to counteract unwanted actions, so you can use your web browsers safely.

Plus, Auslogics BoostSpeed comes with lots of extra tools and features — like its Clean Uptab.

Keeps your data secure

Protecting your browser from unwanted changes imposed by malware and advertising programs is essential for a safe and comfortable browsing experience. The Browser Protection tool in BoostSpeed will make sure you are not interrupted by unwanted ads as you surf the web.

Saves you time

Unwanted ads, pop-ups and unrelated search results can waste lots of your time online. With Browser Protection, you will see only genuine search results and won’t have to spend time on getting rid of annoying ad pop-ups.

Protects your system

While seeing lots of ads as you browse the web is generally more annoying than dangerous, it can still cause you quite a bit of trouble if you accidentally click on an ad and get redirected to a website infected with malware. BoostSpeed’s Browser Protection will prevent that from happening by blocking any unwanted changes to your browser.
