Microsoft Corp. plans to release an add-on to MSN Search Toolbar aimed at protecting Web users from phishing scams. The technology is similar to an antiphishing tool the company previously said will be available in Internet Explorer 7, which isn't yet in public release.

The phishing filter -- which issues a pop-up window warning if a user navigates to a Web site that exhibits behavior typical of phishing sites, and blocks access to currently recognized phishing sites -- will be available for IE 6 running on Windows XP with Service Pack 2 installed, said Justin Osner, product manager for MSN Search.
