Title: antiphishing
Post by: John- on October 20, 2005, 07:13:44 PM

Hello,

At the office we will soon upgrade to Panda 2006.  I myself am using Avast! on my homePC for about 2 years now, at work I am using an Applesystem,..with NA on it,....

Nows the question: Panda seems to have a new feature called: antiphishing-module.
Is this similar to Avast! Webshield??

thanx

No. Web Shield scans webpages for malicous files. Anti-phising checks pages and emails for possible scam content like fake bank login webpages or fake emails looking like your bank sent them to you.

Meanwhile, M$ again, is trying to get the browser market share that Firefox took. So M$ decided to incorporate there MSN Toolbar as a way to show off there "Phishing Filter".   ::)

It seems no one is interested in M$ around here. (I am not, also) ;)
