### Browsing security

Browsing Security gives strong protection against malicious and phishing websites. No, AdGuard for Windows is not an antivirus. It will neither stop the download of a virus when it's already started, nor delete the already existing ones. But it will warn you if you're about to proceed to a website whose domain has been added to our "untrusted sites" database, or to download a file from such website. You can find more information about how this module works in the [dedicated article](/general/browsing-security).

In this module you can

- enable notifications to block requests to malicious and phishing sites,
- activate sound notifications,
- agree to submit anonymous security-related info to the AdGuard server to help us keep the malicious and phishing websites database up to date.

We use the protocol [Safe Browsing API version 2.2](https://code.google.com/p/google-safe-browsing/wiki/Protocolv2Spec) for our work with filters. This protocol allows us to keep your personal data absolutely safe. Our server knows nothing about the websites that you visit. We use hash prefixes for checks, not the opened URLs.

### AdGuard Browser Extension

Browser extensions work differently, using the so-called [*Lookup API*](https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardForAndroid/issues/162#issue-115487668) to check the pages you visit. Every time you visit any website, your local client exchanges information with our backend server in the form of hashes and hash prefixes. Based on this exchange, the local client determines whether or not the site is listed in the potentially dangerous sites database. For those interested in the process at a deeper level, the link above will be helpful.

We bring to your attention that we never get any information that could allow us to determine which websites you visit and use that data in any way.
