Phishing

Windows Live OneCare is giving a phishing warning on my new site on the Online Booking page. Love City Car Ferries, Inc. - Online Booking

What heuristics cause a phishing warning? What do I need to fix? My client is terrifed of being on a phishing list and I don't blame her but what do I do?

They are PayPal buttons, they don't actually enter any personal information ON her site, they go to PayPal to do it but if I got her an SSL would that help?

That is the difference between you and MS. MS can take a spammer to court and win. Who else can.

Have you tried to contact MS either directly or through some of their many forums?

Also watch up for pharming that is the new trend.

Hvae you tested your pages on DNSStuff?

Especially try

Spam Database Lookup (at least one red field in the table for http://lovecitycarferries.com/")

Abuse Lookup (as far as I can see "1 Records found for http://lovecitycarferries.com/")

If problems are found, a solution is also suggested.

What record did you find for abuse look up? All I saw were contact emails.

I did not dig deeper.

Nothing less nothing more. But don't be afraid, I have seen much worse remarks than this on more important sites.
