See the scam before you click.
The ShieldsON ribbon sits at the top of every email in Gmail, Outlook and Yahoo and tells you in plain English whether it is safe — and why.
Protect your loved ones now with the ShieldsON email ribbon, always free (no credit card required). Advanced features available with a subscription.

Works with Chrome and Edge on Gmail, Outlook and Yahoo Mail.
Open your inbox
Every message gets a colour-coded rating with the reasons spelled out.
Invite two trusted advisors
One tap sends a suspicious email to someone you trust for a second opinion.
What the ribbon checks
- Who actually sent the message (sender authentication, not display names)
- Brand impersonation — fake Microsoft, bank, Amazon and delivery notices
- Every link, including redirects and brand-new domains
- Pressure tactics: urgency, gift cards, wire transfers, “verify your account”
- Senders you have already confirmed as safe, so real mail stays green
Your ProofMark also appears in the ribbon, so you always know the alert really came from ShieldsON.
The ribbon is free. Help is optional.
