PhishBlock

PhishBlock is an intuitive software solution aimed at protecting you and your personal information from cyber attacks, by preventing access to websites with a known reputation for infecting computers.

The program is quite simple to handle, its usage requiring little to no prior experience with such tools, particularly since all you need to do is run it and and allow it to do its job.

The main window of PhishBlock will display a history of blocked websites, while also enabling you to manually add URLs, Name Hosts or IP Addresses to the default database.

The web is a notoriously unsafe place, as it can infect your computer with all sorts of malware, some of which not even your antivirus will be able to see, until it is too late and your personal information is in the hands of ill-intended individuals.

PhishBlock aims to prevent that from happening altogether, by detecting and disallowing access to webpages, IP addresses or DNS hostnames that are signaled as infected. It does this by means of a network filter driver, in order to stop the problem before it even becomes one for you.

As such, every time you unknowingly try to browse a perilous web page, the application automatically closes it and informs you that is has been blocked. This way, PhishBlock reduces the likelihood that your data may be stolen and used for illicit purposes.

Moreover, you can add yourself websites to the database, that you know are infected, this information being shared with other users of the utility. However, it also draws its data from online sources.

To conclude, PhishBlock is a practical and user-friendly tool that can help you further protect your system from intrusions, enabling you to keep your data safe by preventing your PC from getting infected, rather than deal with the consequences later.
