A phishing site is usually a fake web page that looks just like a legitimate company’s web page. Its purpose is to trick visitors into entering confidential information, such as log in or credit card details, and to steal it. Typically, you get to a phishing site via links in phishing emails, text messages, or in search results. With the free Avira Browser Safety add-on you can tell right from the search results that a web page is malicious, helping you block infected and phishing sites before you even visit them.
