Here’s what you can do to help yourself be more secure with your browser:
Look at the Reviews
Reviews can tell you a lot about software downloads. Most people who comment and take the time to write a review are proficient and believe in the product. Security enthusiasts will go out of their way and explain exactly what the extension/add-on actually does. As for toolbars, this becomes a bit harder because most do not have a review page. It’s easier to stay clear and stick to extensions/add-ons as your main source of tools. Looking for an average rating of 4.5-5 stars is a good start.
Double Check your Download
You should be running some type of security and anti-malware program on your system, anyways. This will not only scan incoming downloads and sources, but files residing on your computer. Some reviews can be misleading and a real-time prevention system is a good way to double check your safety. A good security system will also scan your network from threats coming from other devices and outside sources.
