How To Efficiently Block Every Harmful Website On The Internet (2023)

Here’s One Fraud Prevention Tool That You Need To Use Now

Here’s a crazy thing. If you use a laptop or a smartphone to navigate the Internet on a regular basis, you are at a higher risk than ever before. Here’s why. The browser – the box where the site domain is shown – plays a critical role for your device. That is because it stores your most valuable information, from messages, personal data, banking or wallet information, passwords, addresses, or history. Essentially, everything.

With so much at stake, it is no surprise that protecting that little box in any way possible should be your number one priority. However, criminals keep spending their days and nights finding new ways to break the security of our devices. Unfortunately, most of the time, they succeed. However, we have good news.

Here is a powerful guide on how to efficiently block every harmful website on the Internet to access your computer or device.

To provide helpful information for our readers and keep them safe, we’ve tested many fraud prevention tools over the last three months. While some of them are great, one really stood out in our testing process: Guardio. This tool is a browser extension and automatically blocks 100x more harmful websites than competitors and 10x more malicious downloads than any other security tool. Our Scam Detector team continuously tested and vetted it between November 2022 and February 1, 2023.

You can also see which companies leaked your passwords. Keep reading to see how you can get the tool.

How does the blocking happen? Watch the 7-second video below to see how a suspicious website – which, in this case, looks identical to the Apple’s official site but it’s fake – gets blocked by Guardio:

Even when a page resembles a genuine business but is malicious, it is successfully blocked by Guardio. So, whether you receive an offer from a site that looks real, get an email from a credible source, want to buy something online from a less-known e-commerce site, or even want to invest, say, in crypto, Guardio will stop them from getting your money if it’s fake. Awesome, right?

In a nutshell, by using this browser extension, you protect your online browsing and information, avoid installing malware and falling victim to scams and get real-time alerts when your personal information could be at risk. If you live in a household with more people, you can protect five family members under one account. But here is the wow moment, below.

How Guardio Does It

All the suspicious sites that Guardio Premium blocks ‌‌‌are‌ ‌encountered when clicking‌ on‌ unknown links in ‌emails,‌ ‌social‌ ‌media‌ ‌scams,‌ pop-ups, and ads. ‌Unlike other products which rely solely on blacklists, Guardio’s security team develops in-house features to increase the detection of phishing, shopping scams, tech support scams, crypto scams, and more.

Guardio has over a million users and is super affordable for its benefits (just a few dollars a month). It is one of the best investments you can make to save your money or protect yourself from identity theft – make sure you do. But here is more good news.

For you, the Scam Detector readers, Guardio offers a 20% discount when using the button below:

That is not all, so we are happy to provide you with even more information. Here is how Guardio works in four easy steps:

Add Guardio’s Browser extension from the Chrome/Edge Store.
After installing, a free security scan will detect existing threats found on the users’ browser.
After completing the scan, users can continue to a 7-day free trial to remove existing threats and enable real-time protection.
Users (Free & Premium) can access their dashboard anytime to re-run the scan and track their activity. Pin the icon for easy access.

Here is a sample of how your dashboard would look like, below:

In addition to phishing protection, harmful site blocking, and malicious extensions detection and removal, Guardio is known for search hijacker correction. What is that? Hijacking occurs when a third party alters your browser’s settings without your permission or replaces your default search provider with one that comes from an unfamiliar source. When detecting that, Guardio directs any search hijacking attempts to your preferred search engine.

Separating The Real From The Fakes

One of the reasons Guardio has over 1 million users and is featured by Google is that it monitors data breaches on your behalf. When a data breach happens to a service you have an account with, it can put your privacy at risk. Guardio shows you past leaks and alerts you in real time so that you can take action quickly and prevent identity theft. Guardio can track 5 different email addresses with one membership. Whether they are all yours or belong to the rest of your family, you’re in good hands.

Scammers are more innovative than ever. Nowadays, hijackers and viruses are often bundled in legit-looking downloads, most of the time software updates, movies, and documents via email. The Guardio browser extension blocks these suspicious downloads even if you click to download before the harm reaches your computer.

Last but not least, how many times a day do you see pop-ups on your device? Some are legitimate and not to be blamed, but some are not. Intrusive notifications and pop-ups are not just ads. They’re invasive, could be harmful, and may indicate that you have malware on your device. Guardio traces the sources and eliminates the intrusive notifications all at once.

The choice is yours, but getting Guardio now would be smart. You can sign-up HERE.
