What Anti-phising do you use?

[sweater]

I was curious what anti-phishing software/s are you using. Mine at present I uses SpoofStick and EarthLink Toolbar... ;) ::) but still, I was wondering then that maybe there are some other softwares that are much more better that what I am using. :D :dry:

[aigle]

SiteHound my favourite -- firefox version inexpected.
SiteAdvisor
Cloudmark beta -- so, so

First 2 may not be antiphishing strictly. have used Netcraft and Trustwatch toolbar but not impressed. There is another named, trust toolbar, it is rouge I think.

[Nick Rhodes]

Common sense.

[chrisretusn]

No anti-phishing software installed. As nickr states, common sense works for me.

[MaB69]

Firefox + spoofstick and Online Armor and even NOD32

[ErikAlbert]

Common Sense v2.5 beta :)

[Bob D]

{QUOTE-> chrisretusn: No anti-phishing software installed. As nickr states, common sense works for me. <-QUOTE}

Ditto

[rdsu]

Only the phishing feature of NOD32...

[Alphalutra1]

I use my brain 8) , NOD32, and Spoofstick

[WSFuser]

i use the netcraft toolbar mostly for looks. for actual protection, i depend on common sense.

[Rasheed187]

I also use "Common Sense", and if you practice safe hex, phishing should not be a problem. And besides, I think all these anti phishing toolbars can be a major privacy threat since most of these tools track all sites that you visit. Of course there are other ways to track this down (and I´m not doing anything illegal besides searching for serial keys perhaps) but why make it that easy for them? :wacko:

[Trooper]

{QUOTE-> Common Sense v2.5 beta :) <-QUOTE}

Same. Altho I just received the upgrade to version 2.6. :D :P

[Carver]

spoofstick

[StevieO]

I oginally got Desktop Armor to block all web bugs, which it does perfectly. So the anti phishing and all the other things it protects against, and the tools are a complete bonus. Of course common sense doesn't hurt either !

. . .

helps you prevent worms, hackers, or other malicious programs from invading your computer

protects you from Phishing Scams that try to trick you to give out your bank login, credit card, etc. Protect yourself from identity theft!

protects your privacy by blocking "Web Bugs": tags that are invisibly included on web pages to track you.

has tools to easily look at all the programs that will start when Windows starts, to let you see where the space is being used on your hard drives, and more!

And many more. There are dozens and dozens of different settings that Desktop Armor watches to protect you.

None. I get no spam or phishing e-mails whatsoever (I've been using the sneakemail forwarding service for years, and never actually gave my real e-mail address to anybody) :P

[lifehacker]

None. I dont use any.

[sweater]

{QUOTE-> Common Sense v2.5 beta :) <-QUOTE}

Nyaks!!! :D ;D You're using the obsolete version.....:P ;D I am already using the final version..;D together w SpoofStick and EarthLink Toolbar.. (he, he, just kidding..;D )..

[TonyW]

Commonsense. ;)

[Jakrinda]

Trend Micro PC-cillin Internet Security 2006

[dog]

Like many others ... None :)

[Lamehand]

None.

Just what is left of the brain after too much computer exposure.

Lamehand.

[Peter2150]

Common Sense here also. Although every now and then I am curious to see where the links lead and to try and give them bogus info. But when I do that I always setup a Rollback snapshot and after playing just get rid of the snapshot.

[YeOldeStonecat]

Happen to run NOD32....a byproduct is it removes some phisHing.

Else...updates to my browser and e-mail software, as well as common sense.

[Eldar]

None at all. :)
Common sense is all I need.

[MatanArie]

I use the CallingID toolbar (http://www.callingid.com/), which I find to be the best anti-phishing toolbar in existence. But then again I work at CallingID so I'm not exactly unbaised...

If anyone has any questions about CallingID, Phishing or Anti-Phishing toolbars, I'd be happy to answer.

[bigc73542]

I use F-Secure Internet Security 2006 and as an extra I use a registered version of SiteHound on Internet Explorer.

[Osaban]

My judgement + Nod32 are probably enough.

[MatanArie]

You'd be suprised Osaban how many computer savy people are fool online every year. I'm talking CEOs, Technicians, Engineers...

[manOFpeace]

So far, common sense although PhishGuard is downloaded to desktop but might never be installed. ;)

[GlobalForce]

For those of you that like myself find this term "common sense" thrown about too easily, several Anti-Phishing whitepaper's are available for download from ....

http://www.antiphishing.org/resources.html


In addition ....

ViewHEAD 1.0.5 allow's one to view hidden HTTP server response codes for a given URL, available from http://www.pc-tools.net/win32/viewhead/
ID Serve, available from http://www.grc.com/id/IDServe.htm is another useful, simple-to-use internet server identification utility.

I could not of course omit Proxomitron's mighty log window (http://www.proxomitron.info/45/help/Log.html), which includes HTTP header messages sent between your browser and the internet,
one of it's many useful feature's. 8) Mind you these are NOT anti-phishing utilities in general terms but can aid in determining site authenticity.
An understanding of basic HyperText Transfer Protocol (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP) coupled with P2K's brilliant ~ should be sticky ~ "The dangers of HTTPS (http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=31087&highlight=dangers+https)" will help.

As for my answer, currently NONE.

What Anti-phising do you use? => The best: Online Armor

I'm aware that anything is possible but rather than savy I would consider myself as paranoid with these matters. I can't be 100% sure, it is true, but I've been doing on line banking for 5 years, and my bank (any bank as far as I know) would never ask for confidential info through e-mails.

As for E-mails in general, I open them in a virtual environment and save them only if I know where they come from, the slightest hunch that something might be 'Phishy', it's a quick reboot and gone forever (slightly time consuming, but safe).

[iceni60]

i use my common sense :dry: or, i don't use anything

mal-aware is a whole site about phishing
http://www.mal-aware.org/

here's an mp3 with Lance James, he wrote phishing exposed (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/159749030X/qid=1147655424/sr=8-1/ref=pd_bbs_1/102-8876579-4743365?n=507846&s=books&v=glance) all about phishing ::)

Ditto here too and I have no common sense at all and good jugdement is almost non existent . :wacko: ;D

That's good to hear, but what do you do about DNS spoofing, Link Hacking, Man-in-the-middle, proxy watching and so on? It's good that you are careful with your emails, but slightly over 25% of online crimes are unrelated to emails...

[herbalist]

Not exactly an anti-phising tool, I use the Show-IP extension with Mozilla.
Except for one e-mail account that's a deliberate spamcatcher, my e-mail is clean.

Same here. One of the early alpha versions, but it's stable and reliable. And I don't believe I've ever seen any available upgrades for it. 8)

[stalker]

None actually, I turn off the one in Mozilla Thunderbird ...


You see, in general, I don't use bank-cards, Paypal or whatever such service. And I rely on my knowledge, while additionally I am not paranoid in this area of computing; therefore, for instance, I rather use the Windows XP SP2's in-built firewall than a 3 party one, since I am quite content with its basic but robust and reliable outbound filtering and so on ...


/EDIT: Oh, and I voted for the "Others...pls specify" option !!


I use real-time AV's protection only when I am on-line (yeah, I am still on dial-up), I don't use various "anti trojans", "anti-spyware", "process-guard" etc. type of programs simply because when I used them, they didn't find/prevent anything in all the time. I even uninstalled Ad-ware and Spybot because I was annoyed by always scanning the system and finding nothing at all. In my case, they are a waste of computer's resources ...


P.S. -- If you want to, see also this particular (http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showpost.php?p=701979&postcount=38) squash's post here on Wilders forums (the same "Pools" section) with which I totally agree ...

[xincentre]

poor, nothing to be phising ;D

[polyglory]

Sitehound

[Brian N]

None, never recieved a phish mail or whatever it is.

[Rasheed187]

I was a bit skeptical about SiteAdvisor at first but I guess it´s a nice idea (still don´t like to have a toolbar though) but I do like the Search-engines alerts, scandoo.com now also offers a similar service. Email phising is not really a problem for me, but a tool like Iconix eMail ID does sounds interesting. :)

[catnotspam]

used ZAFF (ZoneAlarm Fores field)
IE's phishing filter and KIS's online security|anti-phishing

[demonon]

I myself use none, but I do have myWOT installed for the family PC.
For the rest IE8 and Opera have excellent anti-pishing capabilities, nevertheless I have never been scammed before on the web except for not reading the EULA carefully;D

BTW: Nice gravedigging catnotspam ;D

[minacross]

FF+WOT+simply..Common Sense ;)

[funkydude]

Built in browser anti-phishing & OpenDNS.

[Acadia]

Other: I put my financial institutions into my host file, that way I jump straight there instead of using ANY dns server.

Acadia

[ghodgson]

Common sense is a good answer, however I also have fraudeliminator installed in IE which I rarely use nowadays in favour of Opera browser with 'fraud protection' enabled.

Gordon

[Keyboard_Commando]

OpenDNS + WOT

[raven211]

OpenDNS here as well, and Opera which features like 2-3 Anti-Phishing engines alone + by now also HauteSecure if I got all things right (I'm sure about HauteSecure though ;)). :)
