How ScamGuard Works

ScamGuard is meant to be simple. It checks domains, shows warnings, and lets people help improve the results.

1. You visit a site

The extension looks at the domain name of the site you are on.

2. ScamGuard checks it

It compares that domain against community reports and trusted records.

3. You get a result

If the domain looks suspicious, blocked, or questionable, you get a warning.

How community voting fits in

People can report domains that look dangerous and vouch for domains they believe are safe. ScamGuard uses those votes, along with other safeguards, to update domain status over time.

This means ScamGuard is not a fixed list. It can change when new evidence comes in.

What ScamGuard does not do

It does not read your browsing history, scan all page content, or try to be a full antivirus product. It focuses on one job: helping you make better decisions about domains and suspicious sites.
