I'm afraid that my dear wife may not know the difference between a fish and a phish. I have the anti-phishing capabilities of both IE (which she never uses) and Firefox enabled, however, I'm considering installing Comodo's or McKafee's site advisors and using one of them instead since they can graphically inform. This way, I could tell her to make sure "this" is green or whatever. Do you use either of these now and what is your opinion? If a site was fake, I'm sure Firefox's advisor would give a pretty graphic warning but is it as dependable as Comodo or McKafee? Thank You!

McAfee Site Advisor is quite useful, dunno about Comodo.

Haven't used comodo, but I feel uncomfortable using a browser without site advisor.
