The database of malicious web addresses contains a list of web resources whose content may be considered to be dangerous.
Checking web addresses against the database of phishing web addresses helps avoid phishing attacks. A phishing attack can be disguised, for example, as an email message from your bank with a link to the website of the bank. The link takes you to an exact copy of the bank’s website and you can even see the address similar to the bank’s original website in the browser. However, you are actually on a counterfeit website. From this point forward, all of your actions are tracked and can be used to steal your money.
Web Anti-Virus tracks attempts to access a phishing website during a web traffic scan and blocks access to such websites.
Lists of phishing and malicious web addresses are included in the Kaspersky Security distribution kit and are updated as application databases are updated.
