Fortunately there is a solution to the problem which is free, easy, and will protect you from not only phishing sites, but thousands of other known fraudulent sites on the Internet. The My Little Mole Toolbar has more than a cutsie name and logo going for it. This is a free toolbar that works with Internet Explorer or Firefox to warn you if you are tricked into going to one of these spoof websites or a known fraudulent website.  The software pops up a warning if you go to a known crooked website so you immediately know if you are in danger.

The toolbar also has built in search features which allow it to replace several other toolbars. It has a built in search box for Google, eBay, and Amazon. I know those are the three sites I search the most. It also allows eBay and Amazon users to select which country’s website to search so it is internationally friendly.

There are anti-phishing features built into Internet Explorer, but according to Michael Ford, the toolbar designer, "The IE anti-phishing feature is useless. It depends on people reporting phishing sites which means thousands of people can be scammed before it is disabled. My Little Mole will warn you every time and does not depend on anyone reporting anything. It is completely automatic. IE also does not warn about the thousands of other known fraudulent sites that are only setup to steal credit card numbers or other information.  The same is true with any anti-phishing/anti-virus software I have seen. They simply do not work to protect the user until thousands have been scammed. I have seen some scam sites that have been active for months with no one else warning about them but My Little Mole."

Mr. Ford went on to say that the My Little Mole toolbar uses an intelligent fingerprinting system which will catch fraudulent sites even if they move to a new domain, and even if they change their site completely, it will usually still warn the viewer before they enter any information they should not.

This toolbar could also end spam as we know it.

According to Mr. Ford, the toolbar designer, "The problem with other anti-spam efforts has been in trying to stop the spam email itself. I want to take away the profit motive and make spam unprofitable. When anyone goes to a dishonest website that advertises by spam, or a scam site that is only setup to steal credit card numbers or personal information, they will receive a warning telling them not to use the site. If crooks cannot make money sending spam, then they will stop because it becomes a waste of time for them."

I cannot stress how important this toolbar is for every Internet user. If it only prevents you from being scammed once, or having your identity stolen once, it is more than worth the price which is FREE!
