Cloudmark - Is this really that good?
« on: September 24, 2006, 05:32:28 PM »
Hello malware fighters,

Is this anti-phishing toolbar for IE really that good, that if everybody would install it phishers would be out of business?

Use IE7. It has  built in phishing protection.   :)

Also the new Mozilla Firefox 2.0 (it's still in BETA,but works very good, at least at my PC) have built-in phishing protection too ;)

 :) For antiphishing toolbars, Netcraft is the #1 choice .

    From my view, if one has to be concerned about falling
    for a phish, they should NOT be using a "Beta" product .
