Hello,
I think that such products are a useless hype. If you got more than one braincell, you should not fall for any "social engineering" trap.

Hello Huwge.........i understand about emails, but what about bookmarks ? I am presumming your saying you do not use bookmarks...........of course if this is what you meant then way have bookmarks in the first place ?

 

I mean I only use my bookmarks for my banks etc

I would suggest-

1. Comodo's V-engine

2. Link Scanner Lite can alert you to some phishing sites as well

This is a tad late, but I'd recommend Netcraft Toolbar for anti-phishing purposes. I have been using it with Firefox without any problems. It requires separate installations for both browsers the original poster mentions. Not sure about IE but for Fx it installs as extension.

As someone mentioned, it might be "useless hype" but after all we are all human with human weaknesses so I gather having little extra for safeguarding doesn't hurt.
