[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 764550, member: 32260"] I realized that most anti-phishing tests of WD Exploit Guard 'Network Protection' (including mine) was probably invalid. If the testers do not use the original Openphish or Phishtank links, then the non-original lists include many partial links which will not be correctly detected by 'Network Protection'. For example, the below link is blacklisted by Phishtank: [B]hxxp://yyyyyy.torbath.ac.ir/wp-content/themes/vend/vendlogs/bofa/mail.pxp[/B] If we will open the partial link [B]hxxp://[B]yyyyyy[/B].torbath.ac.ir[/B], then the web browser will not try to download the mail.pxp file, so 'Network Protection' will not detect the link. But, if we will press the mail icon on the website [B]hxxp://[B]yyyyyy[/B].torbath.ac.ir [/B], then the browser will try to load the mail.pxp file, and this action can be detected by 'Network Protection'. If the blacklisted link was [B]hxxp://[B]yyyyyy[/B].torbath.ac.ir/mail.pxp[/B], then probably the partial link would be detected, because the web browser usually would try to open the mail.pxp file.
