IE8 beats rivals ... according to Microsoft!
4 commentsIt was nice to hear that IE8 has made marked improvements in detecting malware -- by 17% since March. I read in Gregg Keizer’s Computerworld piece, “IE8 whips rivals in blocking malware sites,” that IE8 was able to spot a whopping 81% of sites infected with attack code. That all sounds well and good, but it’s not available for the Mac -- my computer of preference. Add to that the fact that Microsoft’s security team sponsored the testing and I feel a little uncomfortable. I don’t doubt the validity of the statistics; I don’t believe they’d taint the testing to skew the results. After all, they did have to get inspired when they feared their Microsoft users were jumping ship seeking out other browsers. Necessity has always been the mother of invention.
