I wonder if the banks have ever considered how they have
contributed to the problem. If their pages were straight
up, no pop-up's, no JavaVirus, etc.... it would be far easier
to tell their customers:
==============================================================
Here is what our page looks like:
The address ALWAYS starts with: https;//www.countrybank.com/...
With a page like this. [graphic image]
If you have pop-ups, or a different page, stop...
==============================================================
But of course, that would not be glitzy enough....
