Hello, I’m trying to figure out the best product to protect a user from phishing sites.
This is in addition to the phishing protection built into most modern browsers. I am also advising that people use WOT, which also offers phishing protection. However, I am trying to find a third layer of protection which will help to warn users against phishing websites.
+1 I agree with K9 Web Protection OR you could used BitDefender TrafficLight Browser plug-in add-on see screenshot for details type of protection from BitDefender TrafficLight.
I tried K9 and found that it drastically slows down YouTube videos. I disabled the Force YouTube Safety Mode, but this has already made me a little wary of this product. Has anyone else had bad experiences with it, or is this likely the only negative issue, assuming I disable most of the filters?
By the way, does anyone know of any other services?
I installed it and whenever I try to get that admin console thingy up which I try to open from the start-menu, the application opens for a spit millisecond and then closes… uninstalled.
Ad-Aware Security Toolbar protects you from dangerous websites. By checking in real-time URL against a constantly updated list of suspected malware and phishing sites, Ad-Aware Toolbar lets you explore the web safely.
I’ll keep on looking and see what I can find and let you know okay
Phishing site protection? Open DNS (PhishTank) is a must have hands down… But again it is already used in some web-browsers and apps (Firefox and WOT, for example).
I would say better give ppl the info about how to check for the phishing sites instead of relying on anything else and always remain alert.
The only time you would need to worry about a phishing site is if you perform online banking or purchase products online where personal financial data will be transmitted so using a toolbar or whatever would seem like overkill to me.
There are ways you can identify a phishing site manually on the site itself.
I never perform financial transactions of any kind on the internet so phishing protection is not needed.
