Web3 Antivirus

Web3 Antivirus is a free, open-source browser extension that helps users avoid signing malicious transactions and interacting with malicious assets and phishing websites in the Web3 ecosystem. It offers a layer of security so that users can explore Web3 with confidence.

Web3 Antivirus includes several features to help protect users:

• Transaction Simulation: Simulate transactions to see what will happen and what risks you may face before signing.
• Advanced Risk Detection: Detects over 60 risks, including wallet drainers, honeypots and bad approvals.
• Proactive Phishing Protection: Alerts you immediately to phishing or fake websites.
• Token Insights: Offers detailed information on tokens, including sales and liquidity.
• Website Blocklist: Blocks more than 934,000 known malicious websites.
• Personalized Security Tips: Provides recommendations based on your usage through the W3A Dashboard.

The extension can analyze Ethereum transactions, but it'll expand to other chains like Polygon, Arbitrum and BNB Chain. Phishing website detection works on any blockchain. Web3 Antivirus doesn't need access to your private information or assets, and it can be installed without connecting a wallet, though any wallet connection is only used to fetch publicly available information.

People have praised Web3 Antivirus for its effectiveness and ease of use. Many have reported avoiding scams and appreciating the analysis and protection. The extension is available as a browser extension for Chrome, Edge and Firefox, and there's also a MetaMask Snap integration.

Web3 Antivirus never asks for seed phrases or wallet credentials, which means it doesn't have access to your assets or private information. The open-source design means anyone can inspect and modify the code, which helps ensure it's a trustworthy foundation for Web3 security.
