Antiphishing software

Antiphishing software are computer programs designed to identify and block phishing content found in emails and websites. Most antiphishing software will give a warning to the user, but offer them the option to view the content anyway.

Most popular web browsers such as Google Chrome come integrated with antiphishing software - that appears as a toolbar that displays the real domain name for the website the user is viewing or about to click on. This is intended to help the user identify fraudulent sites or sites that are masquarading as other legitimate sites.
