This past week, an innovative system, designed by a psychologist in conjunction with an information-security expert, was introduced to help enterprises prevent their users from falling prey to phishing, pharming, and online fraud. Through the use of simple visual cues, Identity Cues by Green Armor Solutions makes obvious to even non-technical and untrained users whether they are communicating with an organization's legitimate web-site or with a phony site set up by a criminal -- and it provides this benefit without requiring users to install any software, carry any security devices, register for any services, or memorize any extra secrets. Even if users do not make a conscious effort to use the anti-phishing system it can still be quite effective.

Earlier this month, we published a simple study (test) comparing few antispyware program’s real time protection - Does your antispyware’s real-time protection work?
One of the antispyware programs that we studied is Microsoft's Windows AntiSpyware Beta 1 which failed to protect the system in real time while installing a common threat Hotbar and did not detect Hotbar as adware or spyware.
Microsoft released 5729 definitions earlier today so I did another test using Windows AntiSpyware’s real time protection with 5729 definitions and using Hotbar's installer again:
