The way I do it is just look at the status bar at the bottom of IE. It shows you the true link.
There's a very easy way to stop the real address from showing up in the status bar. Just add a NULL character (%00) after the %01 character in the URL. Then the fake URL will show in the status bar.

Or use scripting to obscure it.

Either way, looking at the status bar doesn't guarantee you're going to a real site.

My solution seems to be stop using IE, or let Mcafee catch it for me.
