Liberty Guard is a plugin for a Firefox browser and requires Firefox browser to operate.

What is Liberty Guard?

LibertyGuard is a Firefox plugin that blocks fake/phishing web sites that will try to steal your Liberty Reserve password. It will also notify you when you visit the real Liberty Reserve web site.

How can fake web sites steal my password?

These web sites are called phishing web sites. These web sites were made by hackers to look as real as possible to Liberty Reserve web site. These web sites will try to scare you that your LR account might get closed if you do not provide your Liberty Reserve password. Some people might fall for this trick and will provide the hackers their login info to their LR account.

Why should I use Liberty Guard?

For the same reason why people put car alarm on their cars - extra protection against thieves. We recommend using this plugin even if you can distinguish the real LR web site from a fake one because some fake web sites will also try to infect your computer with viruses. LibertyGuard will block the fake web site and its viruses from getting to your computer.

What else can I do to protect myself from the bad guys?

* Use firefox browser with LibertyGuard and Google toolbar. Firefox is several times more secure than Microsoft Internet Explorer. Google toolbar also protects you from malicious web sites but it is not as fast as LibertyGuard in identifying new threats.
* Use a separate email account for Liberty Reserve. Don't tell anyone about it. If hackers don't know it, then they cannot send fake emails to it.
* Use firewall and antivirus. Firewall will block hackers from accessing your computer and will block already installed viruses from sending your passwords to the hackers. Antivirus will find and delete any known viruses and malicious software.
* Do not click on any links you receive by email. Any email can be easily forged.
* Always take your time to verify that you are on a real Liberty Reserve web site by checking the address bar in your browser.

Can Liberty Guard protect my computer against viruses?

No. Liberty Guard helps you identify the real Liberty Reserve web site and blocks phishing web sites that try to steal your password. Only antivirus and firewall can protect you from from known viruses.
What should I do if my computer is already infected with a virus?

* Do not access any web site that requires you to login (e-mail, Liberty Reserve, bank account, ...)
* Use a few online virus scanners to clean your system.
* Then download and install an antivirus. Run it in a Windows safe mode to clean your computer effectively.
* You can download an additional antivirus to check if the first antivirus missed anything.
* Install firewall that will block all incoming and outgoing data (your passwords) sent by viruses.
* If you are still unsure if your system is safe, download ubuntu live disk. You will boot into Ubuntu (linux operating system that is very easy to use for the Windows users) and be able to go online from it. Because it stored on a disk, no virus can get to it and modify it.
* Change your e-mail and Liberty Reserve passwords once your computer is clean of from another clean computer (or from Ubuntu). Make sure that there are no forwarders set in your email account that might forward your e-mails to the hackers.

How can I know that LibertyGuard is not a virus?

LibertyGuard is an open source program, which means that everyone can view the source code and verify that it doesn't do anything else except protect you from the bad guys. Liberty Guard was also verified by Mozilla team before they allowed us to publish it on their web site.
Does Liberty Guard sends any information back to Liberty Reserve?

No. That would violate your privacy and the purpose of Liberty Guard. Liberty Guard only downloads the list of bad web sites to your computer and protects you from them.

What is a fraudulent email?

A fraudulent (spoof) email pretends to be from a well-known company in an attempt to get personal information from you. People who send spoof emails hope to use your information — such as credit and debit card numbers or account passwords — to commit identity theft.

You can prevent spoof from affecting you

Spoof or phishing emails and the spoof websites often associated with them are deceptive in appearance. However, they contain content that reveals that they are fake. The most important thing to do to protect yourself is to be able to spot this misleading content:

What to watch out for

1. Generic greetings. Many spoof emails begin with a general greeting, such as: "Dear Liberty Reserve member."
2. A false sense of urgency. Most spoof emails try to deceive you with the threat that your account is in jeopardy if you don’t update it ASAP.
3. Fake links. The text in a link looks valid, but then sends you to a spoof address. Always check where a link is going before you click. Move your mouse over it and look at the URL in your browser or email status bar. If the link looks suspicious, do not click on it, and be aware that a fake link may even have the text "LibertyReserve" in it. If you are not sure about an email, forward the suspicious email to Liberty Reserve support for analysis.

Questions Liberty Reserve will never ask you in an email

To help you better identify fake emails, we follow strict rules. We will never ask for the following personal information in emails:

* Credit and debit card numbers;
* Bank account numbers;
* Driver’s License numbers;
* Email addresses;
