Google is planning to add a new feature to its Chrome browser that will block malicious downloads automatically. The feature is meant to help protect users against the kind of malware that often is installed with users knowledge and make changes to their machines or install other malicious components such as keyloggers or Trojans. With this new feature enabled, Chrome will show users a small notification in the bottom of the browser window, alerting them that a download has been blocked automatically. New addition to Chrome already is in the development queue, appearing in the company s Canary channel.
