Malicious download detector Chrome extension

What is a malicious download detector?

A malicious download detector is a browser security tool that helps users identify downloads that may require extra attention before the file is kept. SafeClick Guard is designed to warn users when download URLs or source pages may need review.

How SafeClick Guard protects downloads

• Uses real Chrome download events instead of page-click guessing.
• Checks download URLs or source pages when download protection is enabled.
• Shows Keep Download and Stop Download decisions when attention is needed.
• Supports Strict and Balanced download protection modes.
• Uses a secure backend for cloud reputation checks.

Why real download events matter

Some websites can start downloads without a clear button click. SafeClick Guard focuses on Chrome download events so the warning flow is tied to the actual browser download, not only to page clicks.

Keep Download or Stop Download

When SafeClick Guard detects that a download needs attention, it can pause the flow and show a clear decision page. Users can keep the download only if they trust the source, or stop the download if the file or source page looks suspicious.
