IE7 Phishing Filter

WesternWork · 11-27-2007, 09:29 PM

Hi all,

I am currently looking at a way to disable the phishing filter automatically in IE7. We are soon to roll-out IE7 to all nodes on our network, and want to disable this phishing filter.

I have found a few sites detailing a registry fix, however this has not worked on our test machine, and as soon as we open IE7, we are prompted for the phishing filter settings.

Can someone please point me in the right direction to disabling this automatically, either via a vbs or bat script.

Thanks in advance.

I will wait for a solution as well. We might be rolling it out soon as well.

I have found the solution, and it came in the form of a registry patch.

The .reg file included the following text:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

Code:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\PhishingFilter]
"Enabled"=dword:00000000

Then, in my logon vbs script, I used the following;

Code:

set oShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
oShell.run "regedit /s \\PATH HERE\phishing_patch.reg"

Hope this helps!
