CyberDefender Launches safeSEARCH(TM) Toolbar
Share:
LOS ANGELES, May 7 -- Security software developer CyberDefender Corporation today announced the immediate availability of the CyberDefender safeSEARCH Toolbar. This free browser plug-in enables Internet users to surf the web safely, receive real-time phishing attack warnings as soon as new threats are discovered, and offers real-time protection from common online scams designed to steal your personal information.
Available now from toolbar.cyberdefender.com/, safeSEARCH is a powerful security companion that seamlessly integrates with a user's web browser. safeSEARCH relies upon CyberDefender's patent-pending anti-phishing technology to alert users to websites which CyberDefender has determined to be unsafe.
safeSEARCH is also uniquely designed to warn users about online hijacking attempts as they occur, detecting whether the URL that a user arrived at matches the original URL generated in the search results from the safeSEARCH results box. If the URLs are different, then safeSEARCH immediately recognizes that the original website has been hijacked and can warn the user in-real time that he/she has been redirected to a phishing site. To increase phishing scam detection rates, safeSEARCH also utilizes threat data from trusted security companies worldwide.
"Two of the primary targets for on-line phishing attacks against consumers are eBay & PayPal accounts. Every day thousands of e-mails and websites are created to entice users into divulging their account information, which is then used for criminal purposes; therefore, protecting users with the most up-to-date security information is critically important in order to avoid these scams. Using our patent-pending Peer-to-Peer security network we provide the latest phishing information to our safeSEARCH users protecting them against fast moving threats," said Patrick Hinojosa CyberDefender CTO.
safeSEARCH Toolbar features include:
o Phishing Alert: Warns users as soon as new threats are discovered and
warns users that they have been redirected to a fake website.
o Pop-Up Blocker: Blocks distracting pop-ups while users surf the web,
and catches what other pop-up programs miss.
o Site Info: Analyzes website data, such as IP address, host location
and registrant info to determine overall ranking of a website's
safety.
"The safeSEARCH Toolbar provides an unprecedented level of awareness and protection from phishing scams, unwanted and intrusive pop-ups as well as unsecured ecommerce sites, among other threats," said Gary Guseinov CyberDefender CEO. "Additionally, the powerful security features enable users to identify trouble areas on the Internet before it's too late and avoid being hacked or having their identity stolen."
The CyberDefender safeSEARCH Toolbar is available free of charge for all users of version 5.0 or higher of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
