S USING THE DATABASES OF SUSPICIOUS AND
PHISHING ADDRESSES
Web Anti-Virus can scan web traffic for viruses and also check URLs to make sure they are not present in the lists of
suspicious or phishing web addresses.
suspicious or phishing web addresses.
Checking the links if they are included in the list of phishing addresses allows avoiding phishing attacks, which look like
email messages from would-be financial institutions and contain links to the websites of these organizations. The
message text convinces the reader to click the link and enter confidential information in the window that opens, for
example, a credit card number or a login and password for an Internet banking web page where financial operations can
be carried out. A phishing attack can be disguised, for example, as a letter from your bank with a link to its official
website. By clicking the link, you go to an exact copy of the bank's website and can even see the real address in the
browser, even though you are actually on a counterfeit site. From this point forward, all your actions on the site are
tracked and can be used to steal your money.

sites may be received not only in email, but also from other sources, such as ICQ messages, Web Anti-Virus monitors
attempts to access a phishing web site on the level of web traffic and blocks access to such locations.
