# Protect: Paid subscription warnings
To subscribe to a paid phone service, just click the appropriate button on the service's website page. Yandex Browser uses the [Protect](https://browser.yandex.by/help/en/security/protection.md) integrated security system to warn you about paid subscriptions so that you agree to them only when you're sure you want to.
## What are paid subscriptions? {#examples}
_Paid subscriptions_ are one way to pay for online services. For instance, you can use a paid subscription to set up an answering service on your cell phone or sign up for weather forecasts sent by SMS. To subscribe, you simply follow a link to your mobile service provider's page and tap a button to confirm. Some content providers abuse simple subscription setups and sign users up for services they don’t know they’re paying for.
Although mobile subscription pages are hosted on the websites of mobile network operators, their content is determined by outside content providers. Some providers do everything in their power to hide the fact that they're signing you up for a paid service. For example, the payment button might be labeled **Play** or **Login** and the message informing you that this is a paid service may be written in small letters or hidden beyond the visible part of the screen. By pressing just one button on one of these sites, you might initiate daily withdrawals from your mobile balance.
It is particularly easy to end up in this position if you get to such a site using a computer rather than a mobile device. This is because it is harder to notice small letters on a bigger screen.
According to Yandex's data, about 20% of users land on pages with a mobile subscription from their computers. One of the reasons for this is the popularity of 3G modems that are often used with Wi-Fi routers. Additionally, malicious [extensions](https://browser.yandex.by/help/en/security/check-extensions.md) may open pages containing paid subscription extensions.
— by clicking the button, you sign up for a paid subscription;
— information about paid services is hidden on the screen.
## Warnings about paid subscriptions {#blocking}.
If you end up on a mobile service provider's page that contains a paid subscription, [Yandex Browser](https://browser.yandex.com/) will display a warning and you'll see the  icon in the [SmartBox](*smart-link). Click **Proceed** only if you really intend to pay for a subscription.
## Disabling protection {#protection-off}
{% note alert %}
If you want to disable warnings about paid subscriptions, you will have to disable protection against malware and malicious sites in Yandex Browser completely. We strongly recommend that you don’t do this.
{% endnote %}
To disable warnings about paid subscriptions:
1. In the upper-right corner, click **** → **Settings**.
1. Go to the **Security** tab at the top of the page.
1. In the **Protection from malicious files and websites** section, uncheck the box labeled **Run security checks on websites and downloaded files**.
Use the same procedure to re-enable warnings about paid subscriptions.
