When submitting confidential information over the Internet, verify the
site is secure. Just because the site's address begins with https
doesn't necessarily mean the site is secure. Phishers may use URL
masking techniques to mimic the secure address of an authentic company.
Before submitting your information, confirm the URL's authenticity by
clicking on your browser's "locked" symbol.

Adding further to that just adjust you browser settings to tighten up security especially if you use web based email. If you receive an email with a bad link in it, add the link to your 'Restricted Sites'. To do this go to Control Panel -> Internet Options -> Security. On the 'Security' tab go to 'Restricted Sites', move the slider to 'high' and remember to add blocked sites so the computer knows whom to trust. Do the same in your email client and firewall.

I've received many phishing e-mails usually purported to being sent by my bank. I have reported all of these to my bank and deleted the e-mails. Norton Confidential prevented me from responding to a phishing e-mail that was not related to a financial institution. Presumable the linked site was on the list of known fraudulent sites

I recently received an instant messenger phish via Windows Live Messenger from the compromised account of one of my friends, which made it look credible. I went to the phishing site but stopped before entering any details. I then explained the problem to my friend and helped them regain control of their Hotmail and Windows Live Messenger account by changing their password. I also researched the phish, because it annoyed me. The same phisher, using the blatant pseudonym Jeff Fisher, has been using the same three ISPs - eNom, NameCheap and Sun Network (Hong Kong) - to run the same phish using a new domain name every day for many months. Any one of the three ISPs could stop the phisher, either by taking down the domain name or the web site.
