Inbox Shield by Gideon

A free shield that checks email and links, breaks fake virus pop-ups, and stops scam downloads. By Gideon, Bellevue NE.

Inbox Shield by Gideon stands watch over Gmail and the websites you visit, and it speaks plain English — built for people who did not ask to become computer experts. WHAT IT DOES • Reads each email you open in Gmail and tells you right at the top whether it looks right — and why, in plain words. Suspicious senders can be deleted, or set to always delete, in one tap. • Checks links before they open. Dangerous addresses and fake pages are stopped cold. In-between ones stop and ask you first — in big letters, with CALL GIDEON at the top. • Covers fake 'your computer is infected, call this number' scare pages with a big calm warning, silences their noise, breaks their screen lock, and — for the worst ones — closes the page itself on a short countdown. • Catches the remote-control trick: if a program that lets a stranger control your computer (AnyDesk, TeamViewer, and friends) starts downloading, the shield cancels the download itself and says, in big letters: hang up now. • Reads its warnings out loud, for eyes that tire easily. • Family code word: pick a word only your family knows. A 'family emergency' message that can't say it, isn't family. • Shows its work: a monthly note — how many emails and pages it watched over, and how many tricks it stopped. THE ONE RULE If it shouts, call Gideon: 531-212-0799. Before you click, after you click, even if you're just not sure. No charge for the call, and no such thing as a silly question. PRIVACY, IN ONE BREATH Everything happens on your own computer. Inbox Shield collects nothing, sends nothing, and has no account to sign into. Its settings and its warning log live on your machine, where they belong. FREE MEANS FREE No cost, no premium tier, no ads, no expiry. It's how a local computer-repair family in Bellevue, Nebraska looks out for its neighbors between visits. HONEST LIMITS It guards the web browser. It cannot stop a phone call or a letter in the mail — for those, use the same rule: if it shouts, rushes, or scares you, call Gideon first. No checker can promise a message is safe; this one tells you what it found and never pretends otherwise.
