Get IE 7 features today, Avoid phishing scams with a toolbar that gives detailed info about the site your viewing

Okay, what about phishing, then? Well, I don’t know exactly how IE 7 will protect against phishing attacks; Gates
seemed to indicate that it would involve offering more information about the websites users visit, to give surfers a
better idea of whether they are really visiting the sites they think they are.

Another company got there first. Netcraft introduced a plug-in toolbar for IE that displays information about the site you’re visiting. The information includes the site’s popularity, Internet address, and the country in which the site is hosted. It even lets users know whether other surfers who use this toolbar have flagged the site as a possible phishing scam!
