WinHat: Spoof Windows User Agent on Chrome

WinHat is a free Chrome add-on designed to modify the user agent string of your browser. This tool is particularly useful for users on Mac OS and Linux who need to access websites that are optimized for Windows 10. By spoofing the user agent, WinHat enables these users to bypass compatibility issues that may arise due to their operating systems.

The extension works seamlessly within the Chrome environment, ensuring that websites perceive the browser as running on Windows. This functionality can help improve user experience on sites that restrict access or display limited features based on the operating system. WinHat is an effective solution for those needing to navigate web content typically reserved for Windows users.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.
