Phishing Protection
Quick Heal Total Security prevents you from accessing phishing and fraudulent websites. Phishing is a fraudulent attempt, usually
made through email, to steal your personal information. Quick Heal AntiPhishing automatically scans all accessed web pages for
fraudulent activity protecting you against any phishing attack as you surf the Internet. It also prevents identity theft by blocking
phishing websites, so you can do online shopping, banking and website surfing safely.
Phishing is generally attempted through emails. It usually appear to come from a well-known organization and ask for your personal
information — such as credit card number, social security number, account number or password. Many times phishing attempts
appear to come from sites, banks, services and companies with which you do not even have an account. In order for Internet
criminals to successfully "phish" your personal information, they must get you to go from an email to a website. Phishing emails will
almost always tell you to click a link that takes you to a site where your personal information is requested. Legitimate organizations
would never request this information of you via email.
