The modern Internet is fraught with many dangers. Spending time exclusively in social networks, you can become a victim of scammers and lose access to your account or download a file infected with a virus.
To ensure the safety of users, Yandex Browser has implemented Protect technology. This built-in feature contains a whole range of measures that increase user protection.
What is Protect
Protect active protection technology is a set of protection mechanisms in Yandex Browser that prevent threats that a user encounters on a daily basis in the global network.
Protect recognizes and prevents the following types threats:
- SMS fraud;
- Visiting phishing sites;
- Interception of passwords and data bank cards in unprotected Wi-Fi networks;
- Downloading potentially dangerous files.
Most threats are recognized thanks to data collected over time, search engine Yandex. The search bot scans hundreds of thousands of pages every day, highlighting potentially dangerous ones. Subsequently, such Internet resources fall into the database of questionable sites, are marked in the search engine results and access to them in Yandex Browser is blocked.
It is important to understand that Protect cannot replace full-fledged anti-virus software. High level protection is achieved only when used together and in particular.
Protection against interception of passwords and bank card data is based on popular resources collected by the company. When paying by card, the browser analyzes and compares the displayed page with its copy in the database, if there are doubts about the authenticity of the resource, a warning is issued to the user.
How to enable Protect in the browser
Perhaps you previously disabled this function or its components, and now you want to enable it back.
1. Open your browser settings, find the "Personal data" section and enable the item marked in the figure.
2. Go to the "Security" section.
3. Check the boxes on all items in the list.
You can check if Protect is enabled now without restarting your browser.
How to disable active protection Protect
Yandex Protect is a tool that includes protection in several areas. You can disable several of its components or completely protect it.
Having decided what exactly prevents you from spending time comfortably on the Internet, follow the instructions.
1. Open Yandex Browser and go to settings.
2. Click on the "Security" tab.
3. Disable protection components that you do not need.
4. If Protect still blocks the sites you visit, click on the "Ignore this warning" button and you will continue browsing the page.
As a result, I would like to note that the Protect technology in Yandex Browser is a unique development of Yandex, working to prevent threats, and not to eliminate the consequences.
Use this free solution coupled with full-fledged antivirus software and your computer will be protected.
The company "Yandex" at the technology conference YaC, which opened in Moscow on October 1, presented its own browser, the correspondent of "Lenta.ru" reports.
According to chief designer Konstantin Gorsky, Yandex Browser has "the most minimalistic interface on the market." At the presentation of Yandex.Browser, skin shots of the new web browser were presented, in the upper part of the window there is search bar(when you enter a request, it turns yellow)
Tab bar, Yandex button and Back button; other controls are missing.
The browser uses the WebKit engine, which is used by Chrome and Safari, the Chromium shell and Turbo technology - it "compresses" traffic, allowing the user to save on Internet costs. The technology was developed by the Opera company.
Files uploaded by the user are scanned for malware by the "Kaspersky SafeStream" system - this is a special set anti-virus databases data capable of detecting dangerous and pervasive malware. Due to their composition, the databases take up very little memory and do not affect system performance. Kaspersky SafeStream is generated using statistics coming from various sources of the company, the main of which is the cloud monitoring system Kaspersky Security Network (KSN).
However, it is important to understand that the anti-virus technologies of Kaspersky Lab in the Yandex browser only increase the level of protection of the PC, but in no case replace the antivirus installed on workstation, stressed in the press service.
There are no implemented projects to integrate Kaspersky Lab technologies into other browsers. However, there are solutions on the market that solve user security problems in similar or different ways.
Also, a PDF viewer and a player are built into the web browser. Adobe flash Player. The browser is integrated with Yandex services: mail, translator, cloud storage and search, but the user can search in Google and other search engines if they wish.
The first version of the browser (for both Windows and Mac OS X) can already be downloaded from October 1.
The general director of Yandex, Arkady Volozh, promised that new versions would be released every few weeks.

Why Yandex Browser blocks infected pages
Attackers distribute malware that interferes with computer operation, steal, distort, or delete information. Dangerous programs get into the computer via removable media or via the Internet. The browser protects you from malware that are distributed over the Internet.
If the page is infected with malware, the browser will warn you about it.
How does blocking work?
Before opening a page, Yandex Browser checks it against the list of infected pages. The addresses of the infected pages are stored in a special database, which is updated by both Yandex and our partners. The page found in the database is blocked.
If a dangerous page is not found in the database, but the browser sees it as a threat, the main features of the page are sent to Yandex, where a detailed check is carried out using machine learning algorithms. If a page is deemed dangerous, it is blocked and a warning page is displayed. You can:
Close page... Click the button Leave the page.
View a copy of the page before infection... Click the button Safe copy.
Clarify information about malware... Follow the link to the page with full data on the infection.
Go to the dangerous page... Click the button Ignore this warning.
If you need to open a dangerous page
Take the following security measures:
Please note that these measures do not protect against infection, but only reduce its likelihood and help eliminate the consequences.
Interaction with antivirus software
The protection mechanism in Yandex Browser does not conflict with other security applications (antiviruses and firewalls). If an antivirus is installed on the system, then it can detect malware before the browser. In this case, you will see the message from the antivirus, not the browser.
If Yandex Browser is blocking your site
If Yandex Browser has blocked your site as infected, remove the malicious code. The next time it is indexed, the Yandex robot will exclude your site from the list of dangerous ones.
