Google has developed a security feature for Chrome that lets the browser detect and stop malware downloads. The feature has been added to Chrome Canary, the latest version of the browser which is available to download in beta form now. Malware is a very real threat, and if you’re not careful about what you download and install, you could end up with a serious problem. Google is implementing automatic malware blocking in Chrome because of more sophisticated malware attacks that could change your browser settings, often block your ability to reset them back and make themselves hard to uninstall.
