Protects you from scam links
Provides a free layer of protection from online phishing scams including BEC (Business Email Compromise) scams.
Scam-Block-Plus will never collect your private data.
On the contrary - our main purpose is to protect your privacy, by preventing untrusted websites from stealing your personal data (using phishing technics).
How it works:
Online scams spread by abusing the share mechanisms of popular social networks and/or by sending e-mails.
Malicious scam posts and comments try to tempt you to click on a link that brings
you to a scam website.
ScamBlockPlus protects you when this happens.
When ScamBlockPlus is enabled in your browser and you click on a link while visiting one of the following websites:
Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Linkedin, Pinterest, Google+, Meetup, Gmail, Microsoft-Mail, Yhaoo-Mail, AOL-Mail, Rackspace-Mail, mail.com, Zoho, iCloud-Mail.
a tab is opened in which the destination website is displayed. If the opened website is not listed in the global trust-list and thus is an "untrusted website" then the tab is actively protected by ScamBlockPlus. Notice that the black scam-block-plus incognito-icon replaces the red scam-block-plus shield-icon. This informs that ScamBlockPlus prevents the website from doing things that could compromise your security.
Features:
While visiting an untusted website, your ordinary cookies are hidden from the website.You appear to be logged-out everywhere, including: Facebook, Twitter, Gmail, ... Thus the untrusted website can't share, like, or tweet on your behalf.
Untrusted websites are prevented from receiving textual input from you. This blocks scams that trick you into logging-in or into typing and exposing your personal data.
File downloads are blocked when initiated by untrusted websites, to prevent scams that inject viruses into your computer.
By a simple click on a button you can trust a website that is not listed on the global trust-list. Scam-Block-Plus protection will be turned off for this website. At any time you can untrust a website previously trusted by you.
Please be sure not to trust a website unless you are absolutely sure that the website is legit and not a scam !!!
