    My PhishGuard just started issuing a Block Alert to a phish or pharm URL when I click on Beta FeedBack in SS Beta 4.0.0.303. Nice to see PhishGuard in action!

    Message form the exellent Phishguard support team.


    "PhishGuard does protect against pharming (DNS spoofing). Our submission
    mechanism didn't detect this particular case. We will be supporting an
    improved submission mechanism for pharming in the next release.

    I've added the Webroot pharming entry to the database. It should now block
    for you (unless the entries on your DNS server are now correct). Here's what
    is going on:

    Correct Webroot IP: 64.78.150.210 (always allowed)
    Pharmed Webroot IP: 204.251.15.207 (now blocked)"


    Question? If the site was not pharmed, why would it say GO AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Doesn't that seem alittle unethical?
