A new version of Deepnet Explorer will be released soon that promises to automatically alert users to possible attacks by phishing scams and the existence of suspicious websites.
A beta version of Deepnet 3.1, made by Deepnet Technologies, is already available, but the new free browser will available to all users by early December.
The browser uses a scam blockers, which uses a blacklist of known phishing sites and analyses visited URLs and websites, so it can identify insecure websites.
It has a built-in Popup Killer that not only intelligently blocks annoying popup adverts, it actually also adds a layer of security. It is unknown that some virus and spyware are embedded inside popup windows.
In addition, it has a built-in page content filter that enables a user to block out websites and pages that are not trusted or wished to receive, such as flashes and banners.
However, there are doubts over the actual effectiveness of the browser, because hackers could tweak the phishing websites so that they are not triggered by Deepnet Explorer's protections.
But Deepnet claims that it is more secure than Mozilla's Firefox and Internet Explorer.
