So Yes, Webwise is a very useful tool and should be welcomed with open arms by the masses who are not that tech-savvy.
I get several quite plausible phishing emails in my Hotmail every day. The Hotmail that I use for registering on sites such as this one. They usually fall into the Junk file, but occasionally one gets through. Of course I'm not daft enough to fall for them, but many are - they generate huge revenues for the Nigerian economy. So there is a real need for Webwise, and the tinkering with privacy is a small price to pay for such a wonderful service.

The loss of privacy is too much to pay Hammy when will you realise had you set us these servers and offered a paid for option for those less techy to go via you
outside the ISP network many might have paid what makes this not acceptable is the fact it will be on the ISP network and not acceptable in any shape, phorm or disguise.
Why not go away sort out your idea work on legal off ISP network resolution and you might have a company otherwise you are flgging a dead horse.

Yes there may be many anti-phishing tools around, but none that come FREE as standard and are subject to such regular updates as Webwise will be.
Many people do not shell out of anti-virus software - it is very expensive, Norton is over £30 a year ! Free Webwise from Phorm will be great for ISP customers who are not willing or able to spend the time and money keeping their PCs secure from attack.

None come free even those free ones offered by you are not acceptable the cost to the public you say is free but the loss of privacy is beyond value in currancy our privacy is not for sale and no ISP should ever consider selling it since they do n ot own it.
Hammy Nortons is the worst AV you can get I use nod32 and there are many good AV out there that are paid for companies but free to home users so that blows that out of the water aswell and 90% better than nortons which is resource greedy.
