Back in December, Microsoft issued a fix for the IE7 anti-phishing filter but it did not totally fix the problem.
There have been several complaints that this filter really slows down the IE7 browser, so much so that users have been disabling anti-phishing. This, of course, defeats the purpose of having it available in the first place.
So, Microsoft has issued another upgrade for the Anti-Phishing filter on IE7 (they actually did this a few weeks ago – I am just slow 🙁 ).
So, if you are one of the users that have been less-than satisfied with the IE7 anti-phishing filter performance, hop over to Microsoft’s web site and you can download the latest update. Hopefully, this one will do the trick.
An anti-phishing filter is really a good idea but I am still going to stick with Firefox :).
