Traditional advice tells seniors to be more careful. But modern scams are sophisticated — AI voice cloning, coordinated attacks, and pressure tactics work even on alert people. YouGuard flags them in real time on your parent's own account, and the family gets an instant alert.

Scammers can now clone your voice or a family member's voice perfectly. Being "aware" doesn't help when the caller sounds exactly like your grandchild. These calls usually end on a website, so YouGuard flags the fake bank login, remote-access download or gift card page they lead to.
Scammers change tactics every week. By the time awareness campaigns catch up, criminals have moved to new methods. YouGuard checks every page against Google's live list of malware and phishing sites, and flags the pressure tactics scams rely on.
Age-related cognitive changes are normal — and scammers specifically target these vulnerabilities. No amount of "awareness" overcomes neurological factors. Protection must be automatic.
Protection that works automatically in Chrome, whether your parent is paying attention or not. The two phone features are coming with our Android app.
Coming with the Android app
Will link a flagged page with an unknown call on your parent's own phone within 30 seconds. Modern scams happen across multiple channels at once.
Browser Shield checks each page for fake virus warnings, tech support scams, phishing pages and gift card demands, and shows a red warning badge.
"I think this is a scam" button sends instant alert to all guardians with exact page, timestamp, and context. Immediate response possible.
Every URL checked against Google's malware/phishing database. Real-time verification of page safety using industry-standard threat intelligence.
Instant email and dashboard notifications when scam patterns detected. Includes full context to understand what happened and intervene immediately.
Coming with the Android app
A suspicious call during a flagged page will set off a full-screen alarm with sound on your parent's own Android phone.
How modern scams work, and how YouGuard Messenger for Android will catch them. It's in testing now; until it launches, Browser Shield flags the page and the panic button reaches you.
Your parent browses the web. They land on a page with a fake virus warning or "tech support" banner. Without YouGuard, this looks like any other website.
The phone rings. The caller claims to be "tech support" and says there's a problem. Without YouGuard, each event looks isolated — just a website and a call.
YouGuard detects the pattern: scam page loaded + unknown call within 30 seconds = coordinated attack. This is not a coincidence. This is a scam.
Sit with them while they sign up with their own email, choose "I'm monitoring my own account" and connect their Google account. Protection lives on their account, not yours.
Add YouGuard Browser Shield to Chrome on their computer, sign in with their YouGuard account and pick their name. Its icon stays in the toolbar while it logs the pages they visit and checks each one for scams.
From their dashboard, your parent adds you under Family Guardians. You then see their Browser tab and get every alert. They can add more family members the same way.
Each guardian gets an email as soon as a dangerous site, scam page or panic-button press is flagged, and everything shows on the dashboard. Done.
Your parent stays in charge. YouGuard is designed for transparency: protection runs on your parent's own account, the Browser Shield icon sits in their toolbar, and they choose who their guardians are. Tell them what you'll see: the pages they visit in Chrome and anything that gets flagged.
Scam-site warnings, a panic button and instant family alerts. No charge for 30 days.
YouGuard also helps parents monitor their children's YouTube activity.
