Thank you for your assessment. Its a good start, but to get a better
profile of the toolbars I'd highly recommend increasing your phish sampling
size.

You can always use our confirmed/terminated lists:

You may also want to check out some other toolbars like that from Firetrust
and Compete or Google Firefox Toolbar:

http://home.compete.com/

Some of these pull the same sources.
