"The BBC is reporting that Google will start to warn users about unsafe
websites, in particular those that host spyware or have privacy
implications. The technology to do this has been developed in partnership
with StopBadware, and appears to be an alternative to the popular McAfee
SiteAdvisor application. Perhaps this will help curtail slimeware ridden
sites from peddling their wares. But it will be interesting to see how
Google rates some of its own products, including the potentially risky
Google Desktop."

There is already a very effective and powerful anti-phishing tool out there:
McAfee Site Advisor - www.siteadvisor.com; however, I am using both the
Google Toolbar and McAfee SiteAdvisor on my Firefox and no slow downs have
occured so you could always use both if you desire.

Cool. It is always better to use multiple sources anyway as no one source is
really even close to being 80% accurate.
