Firefox 2 To Have Anti-Phishing Technology 229
Mitchell Bronze writes "Mozilla's Mike Shaver said in an interview that the upcoming Firefox 2 will have anti-phishing capability using technology that might come from Google." From the article: "With the continued rise in online attacks, security tools have become something Web browser makers can use to try to stand out. Microsoft plans to include features to protect Web surfers against online scams in Internet Explorer 7, due later in 2006. Similar functionality is already in Netscape 8 and Opera 8, both released last year. 'It is another example of the energy that has returned to the browser market,' Shaver said."

Wouldn't it have been easier just to not program the online scams into Internet Explorer 7 in the first place? I just don't understand Microsoft's new security procedures at all!

It's most likely you just don't know how to read. The phrase "when Windows starts paging" it has nothing to do with 'ps' or Linux memory management.
