Anti Phishing Total Protection™ Suite

The recent flurry of media coverage around identity theft and what is being called “the new scam of phishing,” in which online thieves attempt to use computers to gain illegal access to personal information, sometimes obscures the fact that these scams are not new but actually predate computers.

Phishing is bigger. Its emergence in online communications media allows scammers to reach many more people than ever before and at lower cost, whether through spam, e-mail and instant message scams; faked Web pages; or other online avenues. Media outlets have reported that phishing-related scams have resulted in more than $3 billion in fraudulent bank and financial charges to date.

The Support Dock and SiteAdvisor helps protect Internet users from all kinds of Web-based security threats including spyware, adware, spam, viruses, browser-based attacks, and online scams.
