Careful! Chrome could cause problems to the antivirus of our Windows

Improve Chrome 2017 extensions

Google has taken user safety seriously and your browser will receive further modifications shortly. These modifications include an antivirus inside Google Chrome, an antivirus that will analyze the downloaded files and the websites we visit to check their security and eliminate or quarantine them in case they are dangerous for our operating system.

Google does not propose anything new since they exist many security suites that incorporate plugins into the web browser to offer this security, but that's where the problem with this Google decision lies.

Except for the very rare exception, it is not recommended to use two antivirus on computers since the definition files of one antivirus give a false positive to the other antivirus and vice versa, not to mention the high consumption of resources that both programs would do to our computer. That is why Google's decision may negatively affect our equipment, and may even make the equipment inoperative.

Por el momento we do not know if Google will alert Chrome users of the antivirus installation in their web browser, but if not, stay tuned for updates to the program as Google warns that such a function will soon come to the web browser.

Faced with this problem we have two solutions: or we change the web browser, something more and more plausible due to developments by Mozilla and Microsoft; O well we deactivate the antivirus with the next update of Google Chrome. In any case, we must be alert to this change, especially if we use the equipment for daily work.

Google's decision is not bad at all, but it can be dangerous for inexperienced or novice users who do not know anything about Windows security or our navigation, something quite common believe it or not.
