Fighting Phishing with Microsoft Tools

Fighting Phishing with Microsoft Tools

Sometime back we were discussing about a freeware called SpoofStick that protects us from phishing attacks. Just recently my friend installed on his home computer Internet Explorer 7. I was fiddling around it for a while. Internet Explorer 7 greatly enhances web browsing experience by bringing in Tabbed Browsing besides elevating the security strength of the web browser.

A tour around the web on Internet Explorer and playing around the installation, there are two antiphishing tools from Microsoft. I would like to share the URL with interested readers.

1. Microsoft Phishing Filter Addin for MSN SearchBar.
2. Phishing Filter in Internet Explorer 7.
