The Toolbar's ScamBlocker™ feature alerts you to "phisher" websites—fraudulent sites that mimic legitimate bank, auction, or Internet payment sites in an attempt to steal your credit card number, Social Security number, passcodes, or identity. ScamBlocker gives you real-time fraud analysis of all Websites you visit by displaying a color-coded thumbs up or down to alert you to the level of caution recommended:

A red "thumbs down" in the toolbar means the website is potentially dangerous and you shouldn't provide the site with any personal information.
A yellow "thumbs down" means the website is questionable.
A green "thumbs up" means a website is safe.
A "shadow" icon means the website doesn't appear to be fraudulent.
A neutral ScamBlocker image means that while we cannot guarantee that the Web page you are viewing is safe, ScamBlocker has found nothing on the page to indicate a scam.
