Firefox Add-on against Fraudulent Websites

**louj** · 03-15-2007

I saw this add-on from firefox in which there is a status bar that shows the authenticity of a website. It can also show you the percentage the site has of spamming materials and other harmful scripts. Is anyone using this add-on or hear about it? Could you help me out and tell me the name of the add-on if it does exist. Thanks!

There are different add-ons for firefox that you can update your browser to. You can just go to the tools tab on your browser and click add-on so that you can be directed to the homepage of firefox. You can then choose which types of add ons you like. There are security upgrades and many more depending on your needs.

It is very necessary, in the growing web net, it is essential to have some add-ons like that!If any of you guys come across any thing like that, please post it here!

I was under the impression that it was built-in to firefox because i went to a site once and a giant red sign with an X in the middle showed up and told me this site could be very dangerous to my computer and it didnt load the page till i said yes or no. I guess the add-on <if any> probably just has more sites added to it and little more security. Last time i checked FF site it says they are working on there addons section.

Nice little addon you have there, firefox just continues to amaze me in everything they do! They just keep getting better and better!

you mean like the ie7 phishing filter? and as far as i know FF atleast the latest ones have the phishing filter enabled as well

Firefox is growing in taking care of security and thank you for this thread as I will be downloading the add-on as you describe.

I just got a spam email yesterday and i opened it up it was saying it was from ebay but i knew it wasnt just wanted to open it for fun. then a big red X shows up on the screen telling me it is spam and has links to get out of the site.... or risk your security.
