Zscaler has released the version for Internet Explorer of their Safe Shopping browser add-on. The product has already been available for Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera and Safari, and now the company manages to be present in all popular web browsers on the market.

The extension has been created to warn users when they land on a fake or compromised online store. It works on versions 6 through 9 on Windows XP, Vista and 7 and can be downloaded from this page.

Zscaler Safe Shopping for Internet Explorer requires administrative rights to register as an IE add-on. The protection it ensures relies on a list of fake or compromised online shopping locations, which is constantly updated by Zscaler. The alert consists in a banner displayed at the top of the page, as you can see from the image above.
