Anti Phishing

An example of a phishing attack is when a genuine looking email is received from your bank containing a link to take you to the bank's web site where you will be asked to type in personal information such as your account number or credit card details. Except it is not the real bank's web site at all, it is a very good copy of it run by thieves who want to steal your personal information or credit card details. Igaware Anti Phishing spots these because the real address of the link in the message is not the same as the text that appears to be the link.

A database of legitimate URLs ensures that false positives are kept to a minimum.

If a phishing fraud is detected, the web link in the email is highlighted with a message stating that the link may be to a fraudulent web site.
