Link to add?

would Web of Trust be a link to add, or would it be considered spam? I don't want to forum, but I use both it and site advisor and have found them to be helpful in steering away from potentially harmful sites. Thanks Ched Davis 23:31, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Nice Work

Nice work on this article by the way. Having a quality article like this give a new user (me) a real feel for how to contribute constructively. It gives me a good guideline on how to proceed with adding content to new articles. Ched Davis 06:53, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

Very nice progress

I like this. We probably should be sure to indicate this may well be the primary malware vector these days, and that it's intimately tied to botnets.

Perhaps a list or subpage about when to suspect phishing? You do that nicely when talking about specific software/services. I'm tempted to document a few that almost fooled me.

Caveat: since I do live in the fishing village of Chatham, Massachusetts, your spear phishing now has put unfortunate images into my mind: hook phishing, bottom dredge phishing, trawl phishing... Howard C. Berkowitz 16:42, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
