I'm certain that Webwise will warn of both http and https phishing sites. I have asked them to confirm this though.
Remember Phorm are a sponsoring member of the AWG http://www.antiphishing.org/sponsors.html and would not be daft enough to offer something that did not cope with a large proportion of phishing attacks.

Also remember that their anti-phishing will not need you to download updates of known sites like most of the norton's etc do, so will be much more up-to-date. So a much better, and free offering than that currently available.
You see - Phorm is simply the best :-)
