Using the AntiPhishing filter

Unsolicited e-mail is categorized as spam (e-mails soliciting you to purchase), or
phishing (e-mails soliciting you to provide personal information to a known or
potential scam Web site).
The McAfee AntiPhishing filter helps protect you from Web sites that are
blacklisted (confirmed phishing or related scam Web sites), or graylisted (contain
some dangerous content or links to blacklisted Web sites).
If you browse to a known or potential scam Web site, you are redirected to the
McAfee AntiPhishing Filter page.
