Should I use Microsoft Phishing Filter?

Will Microsoft Phishing filter protect against viruses and scareware?
Tip for best answer: M$1.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

It won't hurt; however, it does slow things down a bit. I use Firefox myself with NoScript. So most of the phishing is done through cross site scripting attacks.

The phishing filter doesn't really help directly with virus or malware; however, because a lot of phishing ends up with trojans it can help.

Good Luck!
