17. Search Advisor
Search Advisor improves your online threat protection by alerting you about phishing or untrusted web pages directly from your search results page.
Search Advisor works with any web browser and checks the search results displayed by the most popular search engines:
■
Google
■
Yahoo!
■
Bing
Search Advisor indicates whether a search result is safe or not by placing a small status icon before the link.
Green circle with a check mark: You can safely access the link.
Red circle with an exclamation mark: This is a phishing or untrusted web page.
You should avoid opening the link. If you are using Internet Explorer or Firefox and you try to open the link, SHIELD DELUXE 2013 will automatically block the web page and display an alert page instead. If you want to ignore the alert and access the web page, follow the instructions in the alert page.
