IE7 phishing filter pushed to IE6
IE Phishing Filter in action
The current version of Internet Explorer, IE6, is to get the “phishing filter” slated for IE7. The bad news? It only comes as an add-on to the MSN toolbar.
While the security measure will be embedded in IE7, a free 1.3MB download of the add-on is now available in beta form for IE 6/MSN Search Toolbar users running Windows XP SP2 (Service Pack 2).
eWeek quotes Samantha McManus, a business strategy manager at Microsoft, saying that the toolbar add-on uses the same back-end technology as the phishing protection built into IE 7, and is run by the same Technology Care and Safety team within the MSN unit.
The download is available here.
