IE 7, Here it comes

In an effort to boost the release of Windows Vista, Microsoft has announce an early list of new features that it will bundle with the popular Web browser, Internet Explorer. One oif the most prominent features is "phishing" protection, by which the browser will chek a list of suspected Web sites against a list of known sites in order to protect unsuspected Web browsing individuals.

As explained in the product documentation, Phishing Filter does this by first checking the address of the Web site you are visiting against a list of Web site addresses stored on your computer that have been reported to Microsoft as legitimate.
