Enjoy a smooth, safe and uninterrupted web browsing experience with BoostSpeed’s Browser Protection tool: it will safeguard your browser from malware and advertising programs, and keep your surfing sessions efficient and trouble-free.
What is Browser Protection?
Issue: as you browse the web minding your own business, malware or advertising sites may change the default home page in your browser or set your default search engine to whatever they want. This way, they will be able to show you whatever content they like in search results. Naturally, when this happens, your browsing experience will be greatly affected. Instead of seeing organic results for your web searches, you will be bugged with annoying ads and promotions. Browser protection is like a shield that keeps your browsers safe from malware and advertising attacks, and ensures that you get exactly what you are looking for when running searches online.
Auslogics BoostSpeed is equipped with a special browser protection tool that will protect your web browsers from unauthorized changes.
How to protect a browser from malware using the Browser Protection Tool in Auslogics BoostSpeed?

- You can change your default browser by clicking the “Set as default” link next to the browser you want.

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 Up tab.
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.
