Using Web Security Guard

  • Green – safe website
  • Gray – an unknown website
  • Orange – website contains low risk contents
  • Red – potentially dangerous website

When you try to access a website that is considered dangerous, Web Security Guard displays a warning window with options to block, view more info or enter the website.

Enter Website - Ignore this warning and enter the website. Warning: If you enter a dangerous website, your computer can get infected!

Don't go there - Return safely to the previous page.
