In addition to this basic knowledge of URLs, you can also install some sort of software that will keep an eye out for you. Modern browsers such as Mozilla Firefox 2.0 and Internet Explorer 7 have built-in phishing protection. These programs run off of a list of reported websites, and also have filters that will look for certain characteristics of the URL and alert you if it appears suspicious. So if you don’t already have a program like this, then you should consider getting one for your own safety and privacy.
