- CallingID for the Internet is a simple add-on to their browser. When users install CallingID they experience the Internet from a new angle. For the first time they see who owns the sites they visit, where the owner is located and receive an immediate indication about the risk level of sending data to these sites. When visiting msn.com they see that the site is owned by Microsoft and it is OK to send personal information to this site, but when they visit kazza.com they see that the owner of this site is hiding his identity and accordingly, sending data to such a site is considered high risk (information sent to someone who deliberately hides his identity may be used by scammers). CallingID verifies for the user when it is OK to send data, particularly personal information which requires an encrypted session, and when there is a risk involved. A simple display indicates the site?s safety level, resulting from 52 different security tests performed behind the scenes and, if the user wishes, he receives all the detailed test results. CallingID can be downloaded from CallingID web site or from download.com
