| Description: |
Overall, we found that the anti-phishing toolbars that were examined in this study left a lot to be desired. SpoofGuard did a very good job at identifying fraudulent sites, but it also incorrectly identified a large fraction of legitimate sites as fraudulent. EarthLink, Google, Netcraft, Cloudmark, and Internet Explorer 7 identified most fraudulent sites correctly and had few, if any, false positives, but they still missed more than 15% of fraudulent sites. The TrustWatch, eBay, and Netscape 8 toolbars could correctly identify less than half the fraudulent sites, and McAfee SiteAdvisor did not correctly identify any fraudulent sites.
