If I select [Edit > Preferences > Privacy & Security] on the SeaMonkey menu bar, the Privacy & Security pane has a section named "Safe Browsing". This section has two checkboxes, one for sites with malware and viruses and one for phishing.
If I have those checkboxes checked, I assume SeaMonkey is checking Web sites that I try to visit against some database. Who owns that database? How often is it updated? How often does SeaMonkey check that database? I am asking because my wife did a no-no yesterday. She received an E-mail purportedly from my cousin. It was not! While it had my cousin's name in the From: header field, the E-mail address was quite wrong. Not noticing the discrepancy, my wife opened the message, which contained a Web link. She then selected the link. Very shortly thereafter, she called me into her office to ask about this. I immediately deleted the message and started a virus scan (AVG). AVG found a virus in the SeaMonkey cache. My wife had both checkboxes under "Safe Browsing" checked, so I am wondering how effective is the Safe Browsing capability. -- David E.
