IE 7 can cause PC crashes

Microsoft has secretly released a new update to Internet Explorer 7 to fix the problem with its browser anti-phishing system.

The news release published on Microsoft 's website said that in some cases, IE 7' s anti - phishing feature could suspend Windows systems.

In particular, in case IE 7 must "face" a web page for too many frames or users browse at the same time too many frames in a short time. In these cases, IE 7 often consumes a lot of processor chip capacity and leads to system slowdowns or crashes.

" When you use Internet Explorer 7 to browse your web browser, it will slow down a lot because the Phishing Filter feature must work to evaluate the content of the website. This feature filters the content of the entire site including content. In frames, sometimes CPU usage is relatively high . "

Microsoft recommends that users feel safe to disable the Phishing Filter feature by going to Tools | Internet Options | Advanced | Disable Phishing Filter and restart IE.

The update for IE 7 was also released on Tuesday - the day when Microsoft released its December security update.

IE 7 officially launched in October last year and is one of Microsoft's major upgrades to the browser over the past 5 years. Security is IE 7's number one priority and Phishing Filter is one of them.
