Extension summary

Analyze keywords

SpyHunter Web Security integrates with your browser and is designed to improve your security and help keep you safe while you browse the web. SpyHunter Web Security protects you from web-based threats including malware, ransomware, phishing sites, adware and/or potentially unwanted software.

Key Features:

Website Blocking: SpyHunter Web Security will scan links that you click in emails or documents and URLs that you enter into your browser. It will also analyze search results and links on web pages. If you attempt to visit a website that has been categorized as potentially unsafe, SpyHunter Web Security will block access to the website and display a prompt that allows you to disregard the warning at your own discretion.
Search Engine Integration: SpyHunter Web Security can be configured to integrate with popular search engines to categorize and visually identify links in your search results as “safe”, “potentially unsafe” or “uncategorized”. Search engine integrations can be individually configured or disabled according to users’ preferences via SpyHunter Web Security’s settings.
Exclusions: Users also have the choice to individually override SpyHunter Web Security to disable its blocking of specific websites. To do so, users can manually add websites to the “Exclusions” section in SpyHunter Web Security settings. Websites added to “Exclusions” will be identified as “User-Excluded” in search results (if “Search Engine Integration” is enabled). SpyHunter Web Security is regularly updated to help you surf the web with added safety.

Recent reviews

Awesome software I've been using for 5+ years. Ignore any negative comments, they are comical. This software has even been discredited by competitors - as they KNOW it is FAR, FAR better at detection and removal. If you suspect your computer has something, but other competing security applications find nothing, try this one - it'll find it. It digs very, very deep unlike EVERYTHING else. This is THE BEST on the market, hence the price, but by all means waste your time on other 'mainstream' security software that just doesn't get the job done. Listen to this review and the other by Joseph Tyree, we are both talking from a good amount of experience.

@20-20 you tweaking on this review chain. I had an impossible to find malware that no other service could find and get rid of. until i dropped the bag on the spy hunter subscription. It instantly got to work and not only did it find and remove a malware that no other service could get rid of. it also has showed me so many other security flaws in my browsing and has helped me make smarter decisions online. 20-20 If you cannot afford 72$ in 3 months then you are either a toddler on their parents computer or just a 0IQ slob with no job. Take the hate somewhere else because you know absolutely nothing about tech and its honestly embarrassing to watch someone be so confidently wrong.
