Microsoft MSN offers scam site detector | |
|

Aiming to step up its battle against malicious Web sites, Microsoft said Wednesday that its MSN unit will offer a browser add-in that will help identify both known scam sites as well as those that appear suspicious. Microsoft is already building similar "antiphishing" features into Windows Internet Explorer 7, the next version of its browser. In the new browser, users will be interrupted and warned when they try and go to a site that is known to deceptively try to grab personal information, a practice known as phishing. Those who go to sites not known as scam sites, but whose behavior appears suspicious, will see a warning. MSN product manager Justin Osmer said that his unit will offer the same technology in a similar manner to users of the current Internet Explorer 6 browser via a plug-in to the free MSN toolbar that works in conjunction with IE6. | ||

I wonder if this concept could be extended into the political arena. Imagine a malicious politician detector.
What a concept. I look forward to the day that software does something truly useful like this. |

Hell, I can write one right now:
If target=="politician" set status="bad"; else set status="indetermined" Not much to it, actually. |
