Browsers, phishing, and user interface design

Hi all,

I haven't read all the comments, so maybe my
idea is already commented above.

What about using the centralized data base as
described above, showing a warning pop up and
additionally playing some sound?
Maybe people are more receptive if there are not
only visual elements but also audible ones?
