Microsoft IE 7.0 Tops List of Antiphishing Tools
Tuesday, October 3rd, 2006
Internet Explorer 7.0’s antiphishing security is superior to any of its rivals, the first significant 
study to rate this element of browser security has concluded.
The tests by U.S. Microsoft consultants 3Sharp pitted a range of browser plug-ins for antiphishing security against the phishing filter, in beta three of IE 7.0, finding the Microsoft technology to be the most effective.
Each of seven filters—from eBay, Earthlink, GeoTrust, Google, Netcraft, McAfee Site Advisor and Netscape—were tested on 100 known phishing sites, and 500 legitimate sites, to gauge how well the different systems could distinguish friend from foe. Each was then rated on a scale from zero (defined as no antiphishing capability) to a maximum score of 200. Microsoft IE 7.0 Tops List of Antiphishing Tools - Microsoft Informer - News - CIO
