MSN launches phishing filter

Yesterday the butterfly released the Phishing Filter Add-in for MSN Search Toolbar Beta as expected.  The technology uses the same Microsoft Phishing Filter in Internet Explorer 7 Beta [codename Rincon].  This is one of many cool additions to the MSN Search Toolbar, including an MSN Games and MSN Weather modules, and MSN Screen Saver Beta [although it can be used independently of MSN Search Toolbar now].

I haven’t taken a look at the technology in detail yet, but I wonder how it compares to other anti-phishing technology like Netcraft Toolbar or Earthlink ScamBlocker, which uses technology from Brightmail.  Even eBay’s toolbar now indicates when a user is browsing a real eBay/Paypal site.
