Our parents and grandparents are being robbed by email. ShieldsON stops it.
Seniors are the most exploited targets of online fraud — and the losses are staggering. ShieldsON puts a plain-English safety ribbon on top of every email they open, so they always know what's safe and what's a scam.
Email Safety Ribbon, always free, with NO ads.
A safety ribbon on every email — plus a side panel that explains why.
Install the ShieldsON browser extension and every message in Gmail, Outlook, or Yahoo gets a big, high-contrast risk meter at the top: green means safe, red means stop. One tap emails a Trusted Advisor for a second opinion — all free.
