With the ever-growing diversity of online threats, using a reliable anti-malware security tool is no longer optional. Alongside a permanent trustworthy antivirus, you can also opt for additional browser protection provided by Osprey.
The Osprey browser extension provides on-going protection during your browsing sessions, blocking malicious content and preventing malware from reaching your PC.
A shield against online malicious content
Osprey: Browser Protection is easily installed, and, when turned on, safeguards you and your computer while browsing in Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge, whichever browser you choose. It is also available for Mozilla Firefox.
What makes Osprey: Browser Protection stand out is the combination of multiple web security engines signed by industry giants, including Symantec, Bitdefender or Microsoft, all working together to detect malicious links, pages, data and components before any online threat reaches your system.
By default, Osprey has a few protection providers enabled, while others are disabled, allowing you to activate them with a click. Microsoft SmartScreen, Bitdefender TrafficLight, Norton SafeWeb are just a few examples. The reason why some engines are disabled by default is related to the frequent false positive alerts that they trigger.
Blocks malicious content automatically
When accessing a potentially dangerous site, Osprey automatically blocks the page and displays a warning in the web browser.
Thanks to the anti-malware engines it relies on, Osprey can detect not only malicious sites, but also phishing and online fraud attempts, PUAs, cryptojacking, spam and malveritising, as well as untrusted sites with a low reputation.
Get real-time browser protection in Chrome and Edge
Thanks to an integrative approach that bundles multiple anti-malware engines, Osprey delivers multi-layer and real-time protection against all kinds of threats. It automatically blocks insecure websites and displays warnings, making it possible to browse the Internet a bit more safely.
