I have been reading Spyware posts on many a blog sites. I Have been using Kaspersky antivirus and its quite fine. bot whenever I choose strict setting when an surfing it blocks even some genuine sites that I know of. I understand some sites are a clone out there and may be used to get your details if you don't take care. How can I differentiate a genuine site from a clone and they all look the same and connect securely?? :blink:

Use something like OpenDNS it's free, and do make sure you're using a modern browser with phishing protection enabled at all times.

That's good! My anti virus Kaspersky for Windows Workstation has anti-phishing enabled and am using Mozilla Firefox 3.5.2. Is this fine ? am in the process of applying openDNS. Thanks Moderator

Firefox 3.5.2 is perfectly fine.

Also tools like SpywareBlaster and SpywareGuard will add another layer of protection.
