Netscape is expected today to release the final version of Netscape 8, a Web browser designed to protect users against online scams such as phishing, CNET reports.

Early test versions of the new browser--so-called alpha and beta releases--have been available since February. Netscape has promised that the final version, like the previous ones, will include features to better safeguard systems while people surf the Web.

In the most recent test version, the Netscape 8 browser automatically adjusts security settings based on a list of known malicious Web sites to protect users from phishing scams. The blacklist of Web sites that are suspected of hosting spyware or phishing schemes will be updated regularly, Netscape has said.

When someone visits a Web site, red and green check marks in the browser tab will show them whether the site is known to be dangerous or safe.
