Harmful site alert message
Before you can connect to a harmful site, Internet Guard Dog will display an
alert message, “Your browser is visiting Sitename, a Web site that may harm
your PC or data.”
You must immediately close your browser to end your browser’s connection
to this site. The faster you close your browser, the less time the site has to
transfer harmful data to your PC.
If you want to view the Web site anyway, click Continue.
