Microsoft is currently testing a new feature in its Edge web browser designed to combat scareware scams. This new integration utilizes machine learning to identify and block tech support scams, thereby enhancing user security on Windows PCs.
Vero’s thoughts on the news:
Integrating machine learning into Edge to block scareware is a forward-thinking approach. It enhances user security by filtering out deceptive tech support scams, which are common and often prey on less tech-savvy individuals. This move shows Microsoft’s commitment to innovating browser security. It will be particularly beneficial for users who might not be as adept at recognizing such scams.
