SuperSafe Search is a security-enhanced search engine. While you search online, it provides you with a website safety rating, which is a great way to keep both your personal details and your devices protected from online threats. The rating will let you know which websites are safe and which to avoid - even before you click on the link.

When you have this feature enabled, it will check for known harmful websites such as phishing sites, which will try to steal your personal information and sites that spread malware. 

SuperSafe Search automatically filters out explicit and adult images too, which makes it a more suitable search engine for children to use.

 

HomeSafe and SuperSafe are two different tools which work in different ways. We recommend using them together to offer the best protection against online threats.

    • SuperSafe protects a specific device whenever it’s online, fighting viruses that try to infect your devices and securing your banking and shopping. It’s software that you download onto any mobile tablet or computer. 
    • HomeSafe is a family-friendly web filter for your home Wi-Fi. It blocks inappropriate content (KidSafe) as well as sites that could harbour malware (Virus Alerts) for any device that’s connecting to it. It’s free, there’s nothing to download, and you just activate it in My Account.
