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!
