Publication number: 20070044149Abstract: Anti-Phishing protection assists in protecting against phishing attacks. Any links that are contained within a message that has been identified as a phishing message are disabled. A warning message is shown when the phishing message is accessed. The first time a disabled link within the phishing message is selected a dismissible dialog box is displayed containing information about how to enable links in the message. After the user dismisses the dialog, clicking on a disabled link causes the warning message to flash drawing the user's attention to the potential severity of the problem. The links may be enabled by the user by selecting the warning message and choosing the appropriate option. Once the user enables the links, future displays of the message show the links as enabled.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 16, 2005Publication date: February 22, 2007Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Joseph Xavier, Aime Mitchell, Brian Tsang, George Herbert, Hernan Savastano, Lubdha Khandelwal, Robert Pengelly, Robert Novitskey, Stanley Grant
