    ‘Phishing Filter’
    « on: December 07, 2008, 10:10:40 PM »
    Does the ‘Phishing Filter’ slow down loading web pages?
    Is it possible to disable the ‘Phishing Filter’ from known, safe sites?

      Thanks for your reply,
      Does the ‘Phishing Filter’ slow down loading web pages?
      Is it possible to disable the ‘Phishing Filter’ from known, safe sites?

      Not really and yes.

      Does not really mean that it doesn't slow down loading web pages and 'yes' means that it can be disabled
      Is the only way to disable the ‘Phishing Filter’, IE options/ Advanced/Security/Phishing Filter & disable it?

      Why, may I ask
      Some of my web site pages are taking a long while to load and I thought that it may be caused by the Phishing Filter

      Hmmm...actually, you may want to look here:

      It appears it can slow IE down.

      What kind of pages? (flash/html/videos ect...)
      An example would be useful too.

      Another thing you should know is that slow pages aren't usually the fault of the phishing filter, but your actual connection (if you're downloading anything or streaming videos, your internet can become very slow), the server's connection to the internet or the latency between you and the server.

        Thanks,
        I will have a look at the MS site.
        I have received a reply from the two sites that were painfully slow and they are both having technical difficulties.
        I tried loading the sites after disabling the Phishing Filter but the difference was not noticable.
        Merry Xmas
