Is Browser Defender needed in FireFox?

[antontonkovic]

Just wondering if Browser Defender is needed in FireFox? As FireFox is a more secure browser that IE7 what are the benefits in terms of security by using Browser Defender in FireFox?

Thanks

The Browser Defender™ toolbar allows you to surf safely by displaying site ratings as you browse the Internet, whether it is with IE or Firefox. When you visit a site its address will be checked by our servers and a rating shown in the toolbar based on any malicious behavior or threats we have found associated with the site.

The toolbar also integrates with the search results provided by popular search engines such as Google and Yahoo! so you can see if, in our view, it is safe to continue before you visit a site.

OK, thanks Anthony. I have installed the Browser Defender add-on with PCTIS for IE7 as occasionally I use IE7.

By the way, doesn't Browser Guard do the same thing as Browser Guard?

OK, thanks Anthony. I have installed the Browser Defender add-on with PCTIS for IE7 as occasionally I use IE7.

You can also install it on both browsers if you wish :)

Could Browser Defender also be added to google chrome in future? :)
