IE7 Blocking Google Image Search?

An anonymous reader writes, "I just tried a Google Image Search in IE7 for the first time. Whenever I click on an image, my browser tells me in big bold letters, "This is a reported phishing website." Try it yourself: make sure automatic phishing detection is turned on and do an (adorable) image search; click on one of the result thumbnails. MSN Live Image Search has no such issues. Insert Microsoft evil conspiracy theory here." I get this behavior under IE7, Win XP Pro, SP2, Parallels, Mac OS X.

And your point is?

Nothing to see here move on...

I think not

[maxrate]

Seems to work well (properly) for me

OMG CUTE

[zdzichu]

OMG KITTENS!!!!!

So, basically any page with frames containing other pages is evil now? Thank you, MS.

The real conspiracy theory

[melonman]

Guys, can't you see it, this article is a cunning plot by the Evil Empire to produce 3,000 /. posts saying "IE7 is fine"? How devious can you get? Stick to Firefox, and then you'll never get suckered like this!

Perhaps MS is afraid of all felines.

Same here. I spent hours last night looking for pictures of the adorable Scarlett Johansen, and had no problem doing so. Only problem I had was getting things to come up.

Yet sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice...

I wonder how many slashdotters this "AC" will trick into installing IE7...

Right Taco, NOW

You know all the users with IE7, you can block their IP's at will ;)

I mean, it takes 39 people to say the same thing, thankfully I can't test it.

Well, maybe...

... maybe it really WAS a phishing website that he thought was The Google. Maybe, just maybe IE7 actually protected him in his search for adorable pussies.

Or the "10D/0t" problem.

Indeed.

kittens and puppies are *never* innocent. They're responsible for more than you know... if we drop our guard then they'll enslave the world.

What, no pussy?

If you plan on staying at slashdot you should get use to that saying.

I've turned down better looking girls when I was falling down drunk. I mean, she's okay, but would anybody really pay to see a girl with a body and face that are at best average (and I'm being kind).

Maybe she has a great personality?

Re:So true!

[shinerweb]

Not wrong there...

I've been called out at 4am in the morning because an important machine had lost all of its passwords and wouldn't allow anybody to access it causing a delay costing 10's of 1000's of $ for each hour it was down.

I travelled 15miles to go in and press the caps lock button.

That was some hourly rate I got paid that night....

I prefer the acronym "PICNIC" - Problem In Chair, Not In Computer.

Well, given it's in response to an OS X-centric post, that assertion is not necessarily so...
