Killer Clicks

Email. Instant Messaging. Websites and Blogs. The Internet is one big hyperlinked community and navigating it means users must click, click, click. But miscreant links spammed in email and IM often point to booby-trapped websites that deliver hostile malicious code to your PC. Also problematic are phishing scams that use scare tactics to cajole a user into visiting a fake bank or commerce website and enter their personal login information. The sensitive account information is then collected by the attacker and used for nefarious purposes - like wiping out your bank account or stealing your identity.

So how does the average joe figure out a good link from a bad? The Netcraft Toolbar helps do just that. By borrowing on the principles of a neighborhood watch program, the Netcraft Toolbar leverages a vast community of experience to rapidly disseminate information pertaining to hostile websites. The end result of this cooperation? New phishing sites are quickly discovered and blocked, protecting you, your family, and your business from fraud.

The Netcraft Toolbar is free and available for both the Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox browsers. For more information or to download a copy of the Netcraft Toolbar, visit http://toolbar.netcraft.com/.
