NOTE: Despite these news items appearing at various websites, I cannot verify that the items mentioned are available for download. Please comment if you can find them. Until then, consider this a “preview”. - they’re finally live
Determined to bring every IE7 feature to IE6, albeit in a way that can sometimes make you wish you were using IE7 instead, MSN has released the phishing filter add-in for IE6 as an add-in for the MSN Search Toolbar. Download it here.
In addition, on that same page, you’ll find a Games add-in, which gives quick access to MSN Games, with link to the day’s most popular games, your favorites, even answer a trivia question right in the toolbar.
Finally, Bink notes that a roaming favorites add-in was released to beta testers, that will allow users to get their favorites on any computer, so long as it has the MSN Search Toolbar installed.

Also on the add-ins front, I noticed this cool third party add-in from Viapoint that brings virtual smart folders to Windows Desktop Search, a great feature.
UPDATE: Earthlink says “We invented the toolbar phishing filter first”. Hoo, hoo; tell em, Fred!

MSN Toolbar Phishing Filter
Microsoft has released the anti-phishing tool for MSN Toolbar.
It was mentioned at other sites earlier, but I simply couldn’t find it, so I held off.
