How to disable Yandex Protect technology

Yandex's Protect technology has just been introduced into the browser, and the developers have already promised that new mechanisms will be introduced in the future that will combat other threats. But despite its benefits, users also noticed that the browser often blocks sites that do not pose threats. Not everyone is happy with this state of affairs, so I decided to try disabling Protect Yandex. To turn off the Protect technology, first you need to find the icon in the form of three stripes, and then select “Settings”.

After opening the settings, scroll to the bottom of the page and look for the “Show” button additional settings" Now go to the “Personal Data Protection” settings block and uncheck “Enable anti-malware protection”, that is, disable Protect protection against malware.

After visiting such places, it is easy to lose, for example, money in your account or access to your accounts.

How to disable Protect protection

If the user decides to take a risk, or trusts the desired website, or is not going to enter his data on its pages, you can disable Yandex Protect for a while. For this, Yandex offers two similar options. Advanced users usually they immediately go into the settings, which are indicated by three horizontal lines in the upper right corner of the browser.

By clicking on the Settings item in the drop-down menu, the user is taken to a page where the Show additional settings button is located at the very bottom. When you click on it, an additional field opens where personal data management tools and other options are located.

Here in Personal Data you need to uncheck unnecessary protection options. They usually concern protection from malicious sites and programs, as well as entering bank card numbers.

What is it and why is it used

Protect active protection technology is a set of specific functions designed to protect against Internet threats faced by a user who spends time on the Internet.

Features of the technology

The technology has in its arsenal a unique recognition system threats. The data collected by the Yandex search engine is the basis for most functions. System monitors potentially dangerous sites daily, scanning them for malicious code. If any resource is potentially dangerous, the technology blocks access to it.

Protect has the following protection modules:

• viewing safety information;
• connection protection;
• protection of payments and personal data;
• password protection;
• protection from visiting potentially dangerous resources;
• fraud protection;
• filtering unwanted content;
• permission for sites;

It must be remembered that Protect is not a full-fledged antivirus. For maximum safety it is required use additional programs that protect your PC from viruses.

Connection security includes set of measures, designed to protect the user from theft of personal information through public networks. The function has several additions:

• Wi-Fi connections. This measure will help protect data from theft through public networks that do not use encryption.
• DNS. This option will help prevent redirection to a malicious page.
• Download limit dangerous programs. Some sites use scripts, styles and plugins into which hackers can insert malicious code. This can be done even if the resource uses encryption. The feature blocks unprotected elements, preventing them from reaching your computer.
• Blocking untrusted certificates. We are talking about blocking sites with outdated certificates, since such a problem could be the work of attackers with the aim of stealing personal data.

Protection payments and personal data(password and CVC/CVV2 code from a bank card, passport details) is based on a selection of the most popular resources. When the user begins to perform certain actions with his card, the system analyzes the page and the copy stored in the database. If they do not match, Protect blocks access.

Password protection includes special manager, which stores keys in a special storage. In addition, this includes additional options:

• saving passwords is offered upon first login to the site;
• the manager saves passwords in a specially designated place and allows you to edit them;
• key encryption using AES-256. Thanks to this, the user will be able to feel safer on the Internet;
• keys are synchronized across all devices (PCs, smartphones and tablets).

Protection from visiting potentially dangerous resources allows you to download only “clean” files from the Internet. Virus writers most often insert malware into software. The parameter has additional extensions:

• automatic check. It is carried out when the user has started downloading software or the download has started without his knowledge (in the background). In this case, executable files are sent for verification to special Yandex servers. After comparing virus signatures, permission to download or a command to block the file is issued;
• prohibition on visiting dangerous pages. Blocking dangerous pages containing malicious elements;
• blocking dangerous website elements. Elements (scripts, advertising banners, etc.) that are infected are blocked;
• checking extensions. Checking installed and installed extensions for malicious code;
• blocking software, which changes browser settings (change home page, installation of extensions and permission to transfer files in the background).

Fraud protection is comprehensive measure counteracting attackers trying to take over personal data. The function has several additional extensions:

• protection against SMS fraud implies actions when the user pays for services through mobile phone and yet does not receive them. The function allows you to block sites where virus scripts are embedded;
• warning about paid subscriptions. When visiting certain sites (especially those with inappropriate content), it may trigger automatic paid subscription to the phone number. Protect warns about similar sites and gives you a choice whether to subscribe or not.

Viewing security information allows the user to most comfortably visit resources. It helps block unwanted advertising and enable or disable certain elements (microphone, notifications).

Disabling Protect in Yandex Browser

Thanks to the defender, the user is protected not only from modifying the browser, but also from going to unsafe pages, which is very important, since there are quite a lot of similar sites on the Internet. Protect works very simply: it has a constantly updated database of dangerous resources, which it uses to ensure security. Before the user goes to the site, the browser will check its presence in this black sheet. In addition, Protect detects interference of other programs in the operation of Yandex Browser, blocking their actions.

Therefore, we, like Yandex itself, do not recommend that you disable browser protection. Typically, users turn off the defender when they download a dubious file from the Internet at their own risk or try to install an extension in the browser, but Protect prevents this from happening by blocking potentially dangerous objects.

If you still decide to disable Protect in Yandex Browser, here’s how you can do it:

1. Click "Menu" and select "Settings".
2. At the top of the screen, switch to the tab "Safety".



3. Click the button "Disable browser protection". In this case, all current settings will be saved, but will be deactivated until a certain point.

   

   Select the time during which Protect will be inactive. Temporary disabling is useful if Protect blocks the installation of an add-on or downloading a file. "Before manual activation" disables the defender until the user independently resumes its operation.



4. If you do not want to completely suspend the operation of the component, uncheck those parameters that do not require protection.



5. Below are applications that, according to Yandex.Browser, may negatively affect its operation. Objectively speaking, completely harmless programs often end up here, for example, a web browser that cleans junk from your web browser.

   You can unblock any application by hovering the cursor over it and selecting "Details".

   

   In the window, select "Trust this app". The launch of this or that software will no longer be blocked by Yandex.Protect.



6. Despite the fact that the main protection is disabled, Protect partially continues to function. If necessary, uncheck other components located at the bottom of the page.

   

   Disabled options will remain in this state until they are manually enabled again.

This simple method will disable Protect technology in your browser. Once again, we would like to advise you not to do this and suggest reading how this protector protects you while you are on the Internet.
