Browser Sandbox

When you browse the Internet, you may visit sites that can be trusted and verified as well as untrusted or phishing sites.

Trusted sites are those that publish their identity and host a certificate from a known authority. Untrusted websites may be commercial websites, suppliers, sellers, third parties, advertisements, and entertainment websites.

Malicious sites mask their identity and can appear as prominent trusted sites. These sites can hack your confidential credentials, infect your device, and spread spam messages.

Browser Sandbox keeps your device safe from any kind of malicious attacks.

If you open any downloaded files with Browser Sandbox turned on, such files open in Browser Sandbox to isolate any possible infection.
