# FAQ about data privacy

{% cut "How is Yandex Browser protected?" %}{#protection}

[Yandex Browser](https://browser.yandex.com/) uses its own integrated security system called [Protect](https://yandex.kz/support/browser/en/security/protection.md), which scans downloaded files for viruses, blocks infected and fraudulent websites and disturbing advertising, and secures user passwords, credit card data, and Yandex Browser settings.

{% endcut %} 

{% cut "Virus protection mechanism in Yandex Browser" %} {#virus-protection}

Yandex Browser checks all executable and archived files for viruses and blocks pages that may spread malware.

For more information, see [Protect: checking downloaded files](https://yandex.kz/support/browser/en/security/file-checking.md) and [Protect: blocking dangerous pages](https://yandex.kz/support/browser/en/security/virus-protection.md).

{% cut "Turning on the family content filter" %} {#family-filter}

You can't filter search content directly in Yandex Browser. However, you can enable [family search](https://yandex.com/support/search/additional-features/adult-filter.html) in Yandex Search.

{% endcut %}

{% cut "Fix the time error" %} {#wrong-time}

Site [certificates](https://yandex.kz/support/browser/en/security/untrusted-sertificates.md) that guarantee a secure connection have a limited validity period. If a certificate expires, then it is not safe to send your information to the site. This is why Yandex Browser blocks sites with expired certificates.

If time settings are not accurate on your computer, Yandex Browser can't determine if the site's certificate is current or not. Therefore, when you open a site, you will see a "Your clock is ahead" or "Your clock is behind" message.

To continue on to that site, click **Update date and time**. The system settings will open. Specify the [correct date and time](https://yandex.com/support/common/accessibility/date-time.html) in the settings and refresh the page in Yandex Browser.
