There's no such thing as a stupid question, and even if you disagree courtesy helps.

    I've heard of Netcraft and they have a good reputation, but I don't know anything about the toolbar. i imagine it's probably better/more comprehensive than the built-in anti-phishing tool on IE7. If you've already installed it, how do you think it's performing? I'm all for something that will help keep the 'baddies' away.

    I know netcraft have been running for quite a few years, computer magazine forums have mentioned them favourably, and I've not heard of any problems with their stuff. Just had a quick look at the link, and the business name and registered address checks out with companies house. Presumably if there was any spyware AVG would pick it up? I must admit that having looked at the toolbar I'm going to give it a go this weekend; it looks a handy thing to have.
