    "Phishing " is becoming pretty sophisticated. Can you pass the Quiz?

    If you disable "navigate subframes across different domains" in IE, that offers some protection. I use a program CharlesVar told us about called Spoof Stick, too, and I like it.

    Not to bad => 8 out of 10 but even 2 wrong can be a diaster. :(

    Thanks, Johanna

    I'm also going to check out Spoof Stick. :)

    I take the approach that if I'm not 100% certain I delete the email - if it was genuine the sender will be back again in a few days :)

    But I will be looking at Spoof Stick too.

    I use a little javascript that tells me the true URL of the site
    javascript:alert( "The real URL of this site is: " + location.protocol + "//" + location.hostname + "/ ");
