How many types of this scams you know.

Thnaks For sharing your knowledge. We have to be care when we are dealing with banking.

Correction: LogMeIn used to support ActiveX only (which only IE has), but they now have a plugin for Firefox as well.

One more thing: I noticed that you had something to say about McAfee. I should let you know that every vendor has its enemies, but McAfee is in fact the maker of the very first antivirus, and the only security vendor with ICSA certification in all three components of traditional endpoint security (Antivirus, Antispyware, PC Firewall). No one else has all three. Also, since November, 2006, McAfee added to all their consumer security products a feature that had been previously reserved for their enterprise product line, called ScriptScan. This is the pioneer of the upcoming "anti-drive-by-download" standard, which blocks malicious/compromised Web pages from surreptitiously installing parasites on visitors' computers independently of signatures and even heuristics. Another product which can block drive-by downloads is the free Haute Secure, though it only works with IE and Firefox. McAfee sits between Windows Script Host and all Internet-facing applications, and remains one of the most effective products at fully removing the parasites it finds post-mortem. Norton does a good job as well, but does not have an equivalent to ScriptScan yet.

Why do we need a site advisor when autophishing is a default feature that comes with Firefox version3. I don't think Mccafe will works best when it comes to antiphishing, as it don't had that much reputation. Better to see ourself to to address bar, and there is no solution for it. We have to take care about what site that we are looking.

I think Opera is little different from other browsers. I tried opera once and found it was little bit hard to manage this. Ofcourse no browser completely identifies all the threats. Apart from I am using Internet Security Software.

When they first launched their scams, Some persons will lost some money to their scam activity. If it was not identified by Us, they will theft your login details and makes payment towards their account. So please be sure when you are dealing with e-banking.

my friend almost fell for the nigerian scam. he replied the mail and had everything set up and was about to deposit the money when he told me and another friend about it. we both laughed and said he's stupid for falling for the scam that has been around for years sounds mean huh? then again we didn't feel sorry for that friend of ours. he was always the money-minded one, trying all sort of stuff to earn money. and suddenly he became so stupid he almost lost quite a large amount of money. i think greed got him but luckily we managed to kick him back to reality

I got some of these mails. They said that some one had deposited with a large amount and without a nominee. After the maturity of the bond, they found that the person who deposited is die and there is no other person who can claim the amount. As they had the details about this, they request me to claim this amount under their supervision. After solong mails, they asked me to give some bank details for the deposit, and also they need some money as I was not there and I need someone to be attorney. All these are fake mails. If we send some money as we need to paid for attorney, they will never give a reply to our mails and phone calls. So be careful with these mails too.

You are great. You made your friend to make out all these scam. If not he will again loose some money. Happy to have a friend like you. Happy mylotting.

they no longer ask for id and password by pretending to be someone from the company, instead they use notification mail similar to the original and put the real site in the frame so unsuspecting users fell for it. if only people read the url carefully they can avoid being a victim in this sort of scam

Happy to have information from you. A similar mail and site regards paypal. www.paypai.com instead of www.paypal.com.

Paypal take care about all the scams those who use their name. When someone called their page into frames, immediately paypal redirects the page to original page with out any frames. When it comes to e-gold, it will blocks those pings with sub frames. Sites like alertpay are not bothering about these scams. I think it is better if they change their code to get rid of these things.

That I forgot to say, you must clear your browser after all work completed. Some may catch you by using the catche. Be sure that you had erased all the passwords, account names and web pages that you have been visited. I must pay my thanks to Fancymover for sharing this to us. I must agree with you.

Thankyou for agree. We have to manually check whether the address in the address bar is correct or not. If we receive a some thing odd mail, we have to have more care about those mails. None of the software won't help you from scams. All the best.

If we haven't check some mails from unknown senders, we will miss something. I found some mails were useful to me, even from a unknown sender. And sometimes, we can't remember all the mail address of our friends. It is good to keep computer clean and you are doing a great job. As for to me, I was very lazy about these things. When any thing happens bad, I will backup my PC from DVD with in a minutes.
