Webwise offers network level protection from fraudulent websites and dangerous software by warning you in real time. No need for any downloads or updating, it all works automatically.

Fraudulent sites, known as Phishing sites, trick you into providing bank details, passwords, and other confidential information. This is a major problem: data from the Anti-Phishing Working Group, of which Phorm is a member, recorded a 258 per cent increase in fraudulent sites in the second quarter of 2008 compared to the same period a year earlier.

Fraudulent software, known as malware, can cause harm to your computer. There was a huge increase in malware according to Symantec's Internet Security Threat Report in 2008. The security firm identified 1,656,227 new malicious code threats, up 265 per cent from the year before.

Webwise Secure protects you from these threats by checking the address of sites you visit against industry blacklists of known dangerous websites produced by professional anti-fraud security firms.
