9.4. Antiphishing Alerts
With antiphishing protection enabled, BitDefender alerts you when you try to access
web pages that may be set up to steal personal information. Before you can access
such a web page, BitDefender will block that page and display a generic web page
alert instead.
Check the web page address in the address bar of your browser. Look for clues that
might indicate that the web page is used for phishing. If the web address is
suspicious, it is recommended that you do not open it.
Here are some tips you may find useful:
● If you have typed the address of a legitimate website, check if the address is
correct. If the address is incorrect, re-type it and go to the web page again.
● If you have clicked a link in an e-mail or an instant message, verify who sent it
to you. If the sender is unknown, this is probably a phishing attempt. If you know
the sender, you should check if that person really sent you the link.
● If you reached the web page by browsing the Internet, check the web page where
you found the link (click the Back button on your web browser).
If you want to view the web page, click the appropriate link to take one of these
actions:
● View the web page this time only. There is no risk as long as you do not
submit any information on the web page. If the web page is legitimate, you can
add it to the White List (click the BitDefender Antiphishing toolbar and select Add
to White List).
● Add the web page to the White List. The web page will be displayed
immediately and BitDefender will no longer alert you about it.
Important
Add to the White List only the web pages that you fully trust (for example, your
bank's web address, known online shops, etc). BitDefender does not check for
phishing the web pages in the White List.
You can manage antiphishing protection and the White List using the BitDefender
toolbar in your web browser. For more information, please refer to “Managing the
BitDefender Antiphishing Protection in Internet Explorer and Firefox” (p. 76).
