Question Anti-Phishing Tool Bar

I just read of a tool bar by Netcraft that tells you exactly where you are on the internet. Apparently, some phishing scams send emails with reply links that look like the real thing but are actually another site designed to get your financial information from you. I know this isn't new, but I am wanting info about the Netcraft toolbar that tells you where you actually are and if there are other/better options to Netcraft.

IE7 and FF both have anti-phishing built-in.
