I wonder if the banks have ever considered how they have
contributed to the problem. If their pages were straight
up, no pop-up's, no JavaVirus, etc.... it would be far easier
to tell their customers:

==============================================================
        Here is what our page looks like:


The address ALWAYS starts with:         https;//www.countrybank.com/...

With a page like this. [graphic image]

If you have pop-ups, or a different page, stop...


==============================================================

But of course, that would not be glitzy enough....
