Is DL Boost safe?
DL Boost sends cached Downloads-folder filenames and SHA-256 file hashes to dlboost.com.
DL Boost asks its native download manager to scan files in the Downloads folder, then caches filenames and SHA-256 hashes for files up to 2 MB. About every 10 minutes, it posts the cached filename-to-hash data to dlboost.com/threats as JSON.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed DL Boost contacting. Sending data somewhere is not a finding on its own - an extension that syncs your settings has to talk to its own server - but it is where your data can go, and who else it goes to.
