Is Total WebShield: Chrome Antivirus Protection safe?

Clean risk

Total WebShield sends visited pages and search-result URLs to Protected.net for reputation checks.

When WebShield is enabled and a user account is present, it checks top-level HTTP(S) navigations by posting the visited URL to api.webshield.protected.net/e3/gsb/url. On supported search pages, it also collects result-link destination URLs and sends them in bulk to api.webshield.protected.net/e4/gsb/url so it can mark results as safe or unsafe.
