Internet Explorer 9 involves Anti-malware Tactics

 

With Internet Explorer 9 Microsoft is promising to offer a serious contender in the browser market. IE9 has great security features with tracking protection. It has been seriously streamlined, and looks like an app that belongs on modern PCs. According to the sources, the new browser which is still only at the beta stage, is involving anti-malware tactics and technologies.

Report says, in the Microsoft-funded study it was found that IE9′s anti-malware score was 99%, blocking more dangerous downloads and malicious sites than any other browser. This applies an algorithm determining the likelihood of a download being legitimate software.

According to NSS Labs survey, IE9 was five times more likely than its nearest rival, Mozilla Firefox, to caution users about potential risks. The new IE9 scored 9% more than the current Microsoft browser IE8. The upcoming IE9 has an eye-catching interface with well organized tool bar and buttons. The condensed top bar squeezes the OneBox (more below), tabs and navigation buttons into a single row. This is a welcome change that lets you see more of a website.
