About PhishGuard – Phishing Detector

PhishGuard is a Chrome extension that detects phishing and malicious websites in real-time using a multi-layer analysis engine. It combines URL heuristics, live DOM inspection, and third-party threat intelligence APIs (Google Safe Browsing, VirusTotal) to assign a risk score to every page you visit with instant visual feedback directly in the browser toolbar. The extension will keep upgrading with new features and more accurate results.
