The toolbar is powered by EarthLink and is available from the Bank of America website. An icon changes to red, yellow or green to inform the consumer on whether the website they are on is dangerous and alerts consumers before they go to a web page that is on a list of known phisher sites. It also works as a pop-up blocker tool.
Erika Jolly, vice president of product marketing and management at EarthLink, said: Consumers want to feel safe from the potentially dangerous scams on the Internet that aim to steal financial and personal information. EarthLink’s scam-blocking tool is the best solution available to protect unsuspecting consumers against criminal spammers.
