Phishing Filter is killing
-
My friend just got his Vista Laptop and we were playing around it. I think the Phishing Filter seems to be too much of itself. Every page is being redirected to Microsoft Webservice for a check. Wouldn't this mean (-) Additional bandwidth (-) Delay (-) Too much load on Microsoft webserver?

- yes it would mean additional bandwidth.. especially for the Microsoft web server - yes a delay is imminent if EVERY page is being checked - and well if it's a Microsoft phishing service then it's their problem if they have coded it to re-direct to their servers.. --PerspX

Yes it puts load on Microsoft's server, but probably that's worth it for MS because they get quite accurate statistics of what sites the IE users are visiting.
