Don't fall for the trap that a "real time" list will protect you more.

A real time list is only real time as soon as it is updated.

If a new phishing site appears the real time list will only alert users if Micro$oft know about it! In theory 10 million new phishing sites could appear but IE7 users won't be protected until all 10 million are added to the list.

I somehow get the feeling that making a browser 'phishing safe' is just spin to a) gather info by stealth, b) fool users into using a product they think they need.

This is quite similar to all those 'anti bacterial' cleaning products. Pure FUD marketing.
