Browser Promises to Fend off Phishers

Deepnet Technologies is set to deliver the next version of its free browser software, which it said will alert people if a Web site appears to be a “phishing” scam.

The U.K.-based software developer said it will release Deepnet 3.1 on Dec. 1. The free browser is already available in beta, although the anti-phishing function will not be incorporated until the final version, said Yurong Lin, chief executive of Deepnet.

“We are adding a scam blocker,” Lin said. “It will try to automatically detect scam Web sites, and if it decides it is a scam, it will warn the user.”
