Why Webwise?

Webwise is a free service giving users a safer, more personalised online experience.

Webwise checks for known fraudulent "Phishing" websites and warns users if they attempt to visit one. There is no need for users to download or install any software and as Webwise operates at a network level, it brings a new layer of protection to the Internet.

Webwise also makes ads more relevant to users' interests. It does this by replacing generic ads with ones that are more interesting to the user, based on the web sites that user has visited and the things they have searched for.

Webwise delivers these benefits to users while at the same time setting industry-leading privacy standards. Webwise does not know who the user is or where the user has been, and users always have a transparent choice of whether to switch Webwise on or off.
