IE7 Blocking Google Image Search?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the play-nicely-now dept.

An anonymous reader writes, "I just tried a Google Image Search in IE7 for the first time. Whenever I click on an image, my browser tells me in big bold letters, "This is a reported phishing website." Try it yourself: make sure automatic phishing detection is turned on and do an (adorable) image search; click on one of the result thumbnails. MSN Live Image Search has no such issues. Insert Microsoft evil conspiracy theory here." I get this behavior under IE7, Win XP Pro, SP2, Parallels, Mac OS X.

    After reading this article, I used IE7 to go to a website that wanted to install the Flash 9 ActiveX control (actually, I went to several) and then got tired of it asking me to install one when I didn't want to every time I hit certain web pages, so I looked in help to see how to turn it off. Now here's the confusing part:

    Apparently, to disable information bar prompting, you have to *enable* automatic prompting for several different types of prompts in the security settings property sheet. I tried one, and indeed, I was no longer prompted. But why do you *enable* automatic prompting to *disable* prompts from the information bar? This option doesn't *appear* (so far) to actually enable another form of prompting (and if it did, it would be really annoying - you should just be able to say no once and never be bothered again. Sites shouldn't harass you into installing plug-ins you don't want.

    The design of IE has never made much sense to me.

    There's just no excuse for this kind of memory usage, and no I didn't visit any flash intensive / video pages.
    I was surfing news sites, closed windows after using them.
