Hi,

Using IE7, Just notice my mouse pointer turned into a red no entry sign for
about 30 seconds then disappear. Can anyone enlighten me what it is. Must I
be concern.

Also I have always notice there is Red no entry sign with an eye behind on
the status bar when I was on webmail (yahoo/hotmail) which seems to said
phishing filter is on.

I am at work and I thought I am safe but am I ?????

Me too!

Opened IE7, home page is trusted site.
Changed to another page in trusted site.
Opened link (from this page) in new tab to another page in trusted site.
Tried to select the new tab - took several attempts to get it to show, and
there was the red ring and diagonal. For 30 seconds mouse clicks had no
effect, until I tried going back to 1st tab. This worked and normal cursor
returned, stayed good after going to 2nd tab again.

Fully updated, phishing filter turned off.
Site is www.bbc.co.uk, which will normally operate OK in IE's most
restrictive settings.

A mystery!
