Abstract
A computer-implemented method to detect a potentially malicious uniform resource locator (URL) is described. A presentation of a URL on a display of a computing device is detected. An actual URL associated with the URL presented on the display is obtained. The URL presented on the display is compared to the actual URL associated with the presented URL. If the URL presented on the display does not match the actual URL, the actual URL is prevented from being accessed.
