Abstract
Phishing is the technique of social engineering in which important information are hijacked. To prevent phishing the easiest way is to blacklist such web sites which are suspicious;, but there are many new phished websites that are not blacklisted. To protect users from those phishing sites many ways are available; one of those is to implement security toolbar in web browser. Nowaday every modern web browser has its own implicit security toolbar. Our research is based on the evaluation of toolbars attached with Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome. In our experiment we appraised toolbars attached with these most popular web browsers. Results evaluation showed that Google Chrome provides best security against phishing websites.
