Manaphy0220 Posted December 30, 2021 ID:1495208 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Hi, I wanted to ask a quick question: does browsing google or google images without entering any websites pose a threat of being infected? There shouldn't be a real danger, should it? Especially with uBlock and Browser Guard enabled. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin AdvancedSetup Posted December 30, 2021 Root Admin ID:1495213 Share Posted December 30, 2021 It really depends on many factors. It's not the image itself that is the issue, it is the code the website might be running and if they're trying to auto install something or take advantage of an exploit. In most cases, yes with the use of uBlock Origin and Malwarebytes Browser Guard they will block the vast majority of known undesirable scripts, Ads, or other content. Using Malwarebytes paid premium version will also greatly reduce the risk of visiting sites. Using another browser such as Firefox or Brave would also help.

Manaphy0220 Posted December 30, 2021 Author ID:1495252 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Thank You! So I shouldn't really be concerned about this? I do have Malwarebytes Premium for now and I do scan my PC from time to time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
