Microsoft Edge now comes with a Scareware blocker, a new feature that will help to reduce the chances of falling for tech support scams online, and here's how to enable it.

Microsoft is rolling out "scareware blocker," which uses machine learning to identify a very specific and pervasive type of online scam.

Microsoft this week announced that its scareware blocker, which aims to identify potential scam sites and messages, is now in public preview.

Scareware is a type of malware that relies on scare tactics to get you to lower your guard and unknowingly install malware or give away sensitive personal data before you realize you’re being tricked.

Microsoft has started testing a new "scareware blocker" feature for the Edge web browser on Windows PCs, which uses machine learning (ML) to detect tech support scams.

Edge's new scareware blocker aims to protect you from malicious websites that try to scam you through fear tactics. Here's how to opt in.

A new security feature for Microsoft Edge is now available for preview, helping people overcome scareware scams.

Microsoft Edge will have a scareware blocker powered by AI and the tech giant says it will be effective in preventing online scams.

Microsoft said today that its recently announced Scareware blocker in Edge is now available in preview on Windows.

When a potential scam is detected, Edge exits full-screen mode, halts audio playback, displays a warning, and shows a thumbnail of the page.
