Microsoft has always had a tough time due to adware and linked security vulnerabilities owing to the popularity of its operating system, but in the recent past, the company has worked hard to make its products secure and protect the users.
Taking this initiative further, the software giant has now announced a new policy that will help protect users from man-in-the-middle attacks resulting from malware bundled with advertising software, that takes control away from the user and carries out unintended behaviour. According to Microsoft, injection software that might compromise sensitive user data has evolved, and certain adware that runs out of the browser can aid in attacks.
