MSN Running slow

Help! My MSN mail is running slow.

We’ve found the Phishing filter built into Internet Explorer 7 slows MSN down horribly. While the phishing filter is a good idea, it’s execution is less than perfect.

To turn it off open the Tools menu, select Phishing Filter, and then click Phishing Filter Settings. In the box that appears, under Phishing Filter, select Disable Phishing Filter.

There’s more information of the Internet Explorer phishing filter at Microsoft’s website.
