Qualys BrowserCheck is a cloud service that allows you to check if your browser and installed extensions are up to date so as not to be affected by security vulnerabilities in legacy browser technology.
🔍 Facts:
- Qualys BrowserCheck is a service that allows you to scan your browser and installed extensions to verify that they are up to date.
- This extension is used with the native Windows or macOS app that allows you to scan extensions and browsers to check if everything is up to date.
- BrowserCheck on modern operating systems can also check if your Windows or macOS device has the latest security updates installed to make sure your operating system is not vulnerable.
- When using Qualys BrowserCheck, you can perform one of three types of checks:
- Basic check: checks that the browser and installed extensions are using the latest version.
- Intermediate scan: scans browser and operating system settings.
- Advanced Scan: Scans browsers and operating system settings, and checks if the latest Windows updates are installed.
- In BleepingComputer tests, the advanced scan showed the largest amount of information with a short waiting time, so it is preferable to use this setting when performing tests.
