IE 7.0/MSAS integrations

[Aaron]

I heard on some article that IE 7.0 and Antispyware will
somewhat be integrated. do they mean adding Microsoft
Antispyware pop-alert notification inside IE kinda like
the infomation bar IE 6.0 sp2 and the antifishing pop-
alert notification on IE 7.0

You mistaking the MSN AntiPhishing technologies that will be supported on IE
6.0 SP2.


On Wednesday morning, Microsoft's MSN division began offering two new
add-ins for the MSN Search Toolbar. The first, a beta version of Microsoft's
Phishing Filter add-in, helps protect users against Web-based scams. The
second, the Games add-in, helps connect consumers with online gaming
services at MSN Games. When the MSN Search Toolbar was first released
earlier this year, Microsoft promised that it would be extending the product
with a number of add-ins. These two are among the most full-featured
released thus far.

"Our on-going mission for MSN Search is to help people find precisely what
they want and seamlessly access the information they care about." Says Dane
Glasgow, the product unit manager for MSN. "These latest add-ins provide
people with unparalleled opportunity to add value to their MSN Search
Toolbar for one of the most popular online activities---online games--while
protecting their browsing experience."

The beta Phishing Filter add-in is, perhaps, the more important of the two.
Originally announced as a feature of Internet Explorer (IE) 7.0, the
Phishing Filter helps protects users against phishing Web sites, which seek
to impersonate banks, eCommerce site, and other trusted entities. If the
filter determines that a Web site is suspicious, it will flash a warning.
Known bad sites are simply blocked.

If you're using IE, the Phishing Filter is reason enough to get the MSN
Search Toolbar. You can download add-ons for the Search Toolbar, including
the Phishing Filter, from the MSN Web site.

MSAS should have some integrated functionality though with the forthcoming
IE 7 for XP SP2.

IE 7.0 beta 1. look at the screen shots here:

I don't think we'll know 'til it happens. It will happen, I suspect, later
this year. The anti-phishing effort involves a real-time reporting and
respons system a bit like Spynet, but with a much faster response
mechanism,. I believe--they need to get the info out that a site is "bad" in
a matter of minutes, rather than hours, to prevent damage.

If it's going to be, it isn't yet.
The Anti Phishing mechanism will be pretty snappy from what I understand.

The IE Anti-phising filter will only check if a website
has been black listed. The filter checks the website part
of the URL of each website you visit. i.e. If you visit
http://www.mybank.com/submit?username=me&password=you
IE 7 ony sends http://www.mybank.com/ to a Microsoft
server for validation. This is the only "real time"
feature. MSAS is real time protection for other nasties.
