I have always relied on the Phishing filter in IE7 and get the green bar below when i go to the paypal sign in page.
It alternates between the 2 shown.
If i were to click the link in a dodgy email would the green bar not appear?

Given that it's Microsoft written software, anything's possible.

Dunno I didnt check the MS phishing filter.  But at the time both McAffee and Mozillas (firefox) were reporting the site ok.

However if you look back to chris's post a couple of days ago - he said the M$ didnt identify it either and he'd reported it to them
