Hi...I encountered the "Suspicious Website" message but could not capture any screen images...so...

I copied the info for you as follows:

(Note... I am using VISTA Home Premium and IE 7.0.6)

"This might be a phishing website.

Phishing Websites impersonate trustworthy websites for the purpose of obtaining your personal information or financial information.

Microsoft recommends that you do not give any of your information to such websites.

Report whether or not this is a Phishing website."

>>Shad below is the link to the MS Phishing site

https://phishingfilter.microsoft.com/feedback.aspx?result=warn&URL=http%3a%2f%2fwww.mylargescale.com%2fMembers%2fGetOnboard%2ftabid%2f70%2fUserID%2f5485%2fDefault.aspx

>> This is the link MS puts in the 'advise' area.  There are 3 report options.....

Thanks Gary, I have submitted the form to Microsoft. For what it's worth, I've found that the phishing filter is more of a PITA than it's worth. I always disable it.

Your welcome....and mine is also disabled.  I activated it only to trap the filter messages for you.

I've found that vista is more of a PITA than XP

God yes, seadawg.  I couldn't agree with you more.  Vista is a real nightmare.  I have a rather unique feature on mine that randomly minimzes my screen when I click on a link.  Real handy when you're browsing.  Bill Gates and his minions need to quit tinkering.

I just received notification from Microsoft that they are removing it from the suspected phishing sites list.  It can take up to 24 hours to be removed.
