[pchelpers] News:Microsoft: IE 7 phishing shield rocks!

September 28, 2006 11:37 AM PDT

After leaving Internet Explorer untouched for years, Microsoft is now 
busily talking about how great the next version of its Web browser is.

A Microsoft-sponsored study into Web browser's phishing shield shows 
that Internet Explorer 7 offers superior protection against the 
prevalent data-thieving scams, according to Microsoft.

The study was done by a company called 3 Sharp. It compared IE with 
seven other phishing shields provided by EarthLink, eBay, GeoTrust, 
Google Safe Browsing (Firefox), McAfee SiteAdvisor, Netcraft and 
Netscape, Microsoft said.

"We are pleased to see that Internet Explorer 7's Phishing Filter 
finished at the top of 3Sharp's list as most accurate anti-phishing 
technology," Tony Chor, a group program manager for Internet Explorer at 
Microsoft, wrote on a corporate blog.
