Although you can waste lots of money on anti-phishing software, your best bet is to ignore it and follow some basic rules:
1. Your bank / Paypal etc will NEVER send you an email asking you to confirm your password and login details / account number etc.
If you think an email may be genuine, login by typing that address in the address bar NEVER click a link to follow it to your 'bank'.
2. If an offer sounds too good to be true ...it probably is!
3. Use your common sense

IE7 and FireFox 2 have built in phishing protection so download one and you are half way there.

Apart from pay pal I do not do any banking on line. With pay pal if I receive an e mail from them I always forward it to their spoof address to have it checked. Any other e mails I receive from any other bank I just delete. Those 419's I might read for a laugh, they are so naive, then I delete. I keep one bank account with a debit card and only a little money in it for purchases on the net so what more can you do

Use Firefox 2.0 or IE7 and turn on antisphishing
or you can use McAfee Site advisor, a free tool
http://www.siteadvisor.com/
or Netcraft Toolbar
http://toolbar.netcraft.com/
or use Scandoo

Or just stand in corners looking incredibly suave and sophisticated...

IF you receieve an email from a bank etc, asking for details - this is a fake.
If you receieve an email from a bank, rather than clicking on a link, it may be best to type it in.

By ignoring them. If you respond or reply in any way, you'll just make it worse, because your email will go into their "live" category and they'll sell it to somebody else.
