# Disabling malware protection


<!--По этому разделу написаны фактовые ответы. Если раздел обновился, не забудьте проверить и обновить ответы в файле fact-answers.yaml.-->

[Yandex Browser](https://browser.yandex.com/) uses malware [protection](https://yandex.com/support/browser/en/security/virus-protection.md) that blocks infected sites and pages. You can disable this protection:

Other computer users or [malicious extensions](https://yandex.com/support/browser/en/security/check-extensions.md) can also disable your protection without notifying you. If protection is disabled, malicious codes may infect your computer or give hackers access to your [personal information](https://yandex.com/support/common/en/security/phishing.html) and electronic payments.

That's why Yandex Browser will warn you if your protection against malicious software was disabled and suggest that you enable it:
