IE 6 Gets IE 7 Phishing Filter | |
|

Microsoft Corp. has quietly backported one of the security improvements slated for the new Internet Explorer 7 browser into IE 6.0, but the giveaway comes with a small catch. The Microsoft Phishing Filter, which is being embedded into IE 7, will now be available in IE 6 but only via an add-on to the MSN Search Toolbar. A free 1.3MB download of the anti-phishing add-on is now available in beta form for IE 6/MSN Search Toolbar users running Windows XP SP2 (Service Pack 2). Samantha McManus, a business strategy manager at Microsoft, said the toolbar add-on uses the same back-end technology as the phishing protection built into IE 7. "The specific implementation for each product is very slightly different to fit in with each product's user experience, but yes, the technology is the same," McManus said. Both implementations are being run by the Technology Care and Safety team within the MSN unit. | ||
