safebrowsing.clients.google.com (what is being sent to this website?)
Private
sent to safebrowsing.clients.google.com. I keep getting message from
my internet security program that it has blocked password from being
sent to them. I checked on the firefox support web site, saw many
other people with the same question but did not see where anyone gave
them any answer. The reason that it has come up for me is I just
have started using that feature to keep personel info from being sent
to websites with out my ok.
I am using firefox 3.6.3 with windows xp pro.
Thanks for your input.

According to the documentation, the only info that's sent is your
client and version and the version of the Safe Browsing protocol it
supports.

It sounds like a false positive to me -- have you tried asking whoever
it is you got this internet security program from?

The way the internet security program works is that you provide 4
characters of your pass word or credit card number etc. that you want
to protect and then it blocks from sending anything using those
characters. I was just curious as to what information needed to be
sent to them. I just don't trust google too much with info they
collect.
Thanks for your help
