Ah, great question. All of the links at the site go to the home of the
product or trusted download sites.

So, how can someone verify that it doesn't go to some phishing site with
similar or completely different but compelling website?

However, a point in safe surfing as described at my site is to use "Sandboxie"

Useless, because it's trivial to break out of this container, it really
isn't a sandbox by design. And only fools would even think of using MSIE on
the internet, which it was never designed for and is even documented to be
trivially exploitable. Better use a webbrowser.

when you go to 'unknown' sites until you decide if it is trusted.

The number of trustworthy sites is about zero, as almost any includes
third-party content.

This is a must IMO.

This is a "Stupid, don't ever do so!" IMO.


Of course you can also use a Phishing prog

Phishing is a social, not a technical problem, and common tools to help
with filtering obviously invalid content are normally called
"anti-phishing".

a good firewall

Why?

a good anti-virus prog

Why?

a good active realtime defense prog...(a good security suite)

What a shit?

Well, my recommendation to you would be to unplug your cat 5 :)
