Phishing Filter.

[Andy I.]

Hi,

When I click on this link:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;307885

there is a long delay while a notice appears:

"Phishing filter is checking this website "

Is this necessary?

It doesn't happen when I click on it because I'm using Firefox. But if I
were using IE7, I would go to Tools > Phishing Filter and make the
necessary adjustments.

Thanks Raymond. I've turned off "Automatic Checking". I guess the
Phishing Filter is an IE7 feature. I've just switched from IE6.
