Thank you so much for the feedback, John! Many sites that appear safe are actually connected to third party sites that could be harmful. If there are any sites you think we should have a look at, be sure to send them over to yourfriends@guard.io

### "A 90 year old mans mistakes"

June 18, 2020

5.0

So far this is the best warning software I have ever used.

Pros

It warns me when I try to use web sites that are dangerous. I type with two fingers and make simple mistakes when I hit the wrong key or miss using correct spelling.

Cons

Often I still wish to see a site they tell me not to, but I don;t as it would likely get me in trouble.

I have been very pleased with it in every respect..........

I do like the ease of operation and how this sits in the background as a silent partner and is not intrusive as other software can and has been.........................ACES.
