Browser Guard blocks ads, trackers, scams, and malware once installed on your browser. You may not even notice it working quietly in the background since most content blocks do not notify you, except in the case of an entire website block. Browser Guard may completely stop you from accessing a website if it is suspected of hosting malware, scams, or links to malicious software.
The following are the different block pages you may see when using Browser Guard:
- Content control block page
- Fraud block page
- Malware block page
- Phishing block page
- Ransomware block page
- Reputation block page
- Riskware block page
- Suspicious Download block page
- Suspicious TLD block page
- Trojan block page
Each block page tells you why it was activated and the web address that caused the block. If you encounter block pages, we strongly suggest that you do not continue. You can click the Go back button to return to your previous page. If you trust the website and want to go there anyway, click Continue to this website to bypass the block. Click on the checkbox if you don't want Browser Guard to block the website again.
When Browser Guard blocks a trusted site
While most blocks occur for legitimate security reasons, there can sometimes be false positives. A website that was once unsafe may no longer pose a threat, or Browser Guard might accidentally block a safe website. We strive to improve the accuracy of our software and regularly review and update our protection database to minimize these occurrences from happening.
For websites that you think shouldn't be blocked, let us know by contacting Support or making a post on our Browser Guard public forum.
