Online scams are becoming more and more common and, because they can be very hard to spot, people lose billions of dollars to them every year. The scams can take many forms, including:

• Look-alike sites for popular retailers.
• Websites for fake businesses.
• Fake charity sites.

In every case, the sites are designed to get you to part with your money and/or your personal information.

To help our customers avoid becoming victims of fraud, we’ve teamed up with the Global Anti-Scam Alliance and ScamAdviser. Here’s how it works.

The latest version of our endpoint protection solutions use ScamAdviser’s list of known-bad websites to help you stay safe. When the new Anti-Scam feature is enabled, you’ll see a notification either in-application or, if you use it, in Emsisoft Browser Security.

To enable the Anti-Scam feature, open MyEmsisoft, go to ‘Protection policies’ in your Emsisoft workspace and navigate to ‘Content Filtering’. Enable the category ‘Scam’.
