Re: 450MB/sec, 1GB/sec?
@big_D The way I read it, it doesn't scan Windows per se, it is just scanning the Chrome environment and removing dodgy plug-ins.
Given one of the main infection vectors is the browser either visiting malicious websites or accidentally downloading compromised scripts, I would assume that Google with Chrome are doing similar to what Yandex are doing with the Agnitum security suite, namely improving the security within the browser by incorporating features that, currently are provided by freestanding third-party security suite/products such as Kaspersky and MalwareBytes Anti Exploit, or browser plug-ins/extensions such as NoScript, uMatrix.
What is different (currently) is that Yandex took out Agnitum totally, so they now only produce the security extensions for Yandex products - so bye bye Outpost Firewall and Security Suite. Whereas Google have jus ensured that ESET's browser security technologies are tightly integrated into Chrome.
