distinguish real from fake dialog?

[Guest james]

While surfing the web, if a dialog pops up purporting to be a

system/firewall/antivirus message requesting that you click on one of the

buttons, is there an easy way to tell a real dialog from a fake one (a link

to a trojan)?

 

Is there some utility that tags each pop up window so that at a glance you

can tell real from fake? Obviously, the tag should not be "fakable".

It is moszt likely a IE Pop-Up faking a dialogue.

Get familiar with how the real ones look, and act, on your system.

A good fake may not be distinguishable from the real thing, but you

won't be fooled by the ones that aren't that good.
