Hello. I wonder which browser is the most efficient one when the word is about phishing detection. I don’t know about the others, but as I have saw so far, Internet Explorer 7 has some kind of phishing plug-in constantly present there. How reliable is this kind or form of protection, actually? Thanks in advance.

Hi. If you want to feel secured while you are surfing around the internet, IE7 is not bad choice. Also, any other browser with Bit Defender installed for example is capable to detect possible hoax. Keep in mind that you can get phished over the telephone. Browsers don’t have anything to deal with telephone calls.
