Cody quietly detects tech support scams and blocks them before they can do harm. Digital scams are a $20B+ business in the US. Fake virus warnings, frozen-screen hijacks, phony "Microsoft support" numbers, phishing links that look real. Cody catches them and shuts them down. Nothing to configure. It just works. And you can Ask Cody about any page or email to get his take on if it's real. Cody is an AI that is on your side. WHAT CODY BLOCKS - Fullscreen, pointer, and keyboard hijacks that trap you on a page - Fake virus warnings and "call this number" scams - Dialog and popup spam, back-button traps - Phishing links (brand impersonation, punycode, lookalike domains, shorteners, and more) - Remote-access tool pages (TeamViewer, AnyDesk, LogMeIn) — flagged in bright red - Dangerous downloads (.exe, .msi, .bat, .scr…) - Unexpected screen-share and clipboard grabs HOW IT WORKS Cody loads before page scripts do and patches the browser APIs that scams rely on. When it sees a scam pattern it blocks the page and shows a calm banner so you know what happened. PRIVACY - All detection runs locally in your browser - No tracking, no analytics, no ads, no data sold - Optional family dashboard (requires sign-in) lets you share blocked events with people you choose - Open source: https://github.com/robbalian/scamblock GOOD FOR - A parent's or grandparent's computer - Anyone who's been burned by a scam page before - Anyone who wants a quiet, always-on safety net while browsing
