Google Chrome Enhances Security with New Warnings and Encrypted File Scans

Users will now see clearer alerts and have the option to scan password-protected downloads to combat malware.

Chrome's Safe Browsing feature now includes a two-tier warning system for suspicious and dangerous files.
Enhanced Protection users can upload encrypted files for deep scans by providing the password.
Standard Protection users will have encrypted files scanned locally, with only metadata checked by Safe Browsing.
Google assures that files and passwords sent for scanning are deleted shortly after the scan.
The updates aim to improve user behavior and reduce the bypassing of security warnings.
