    Default IE9's App Rep bumps browser's anti-malware score to 99%

    Microsoft's Internet Explorer 9 (IE9) blocks more malicious sites and malware than any other browser, including its predecessor IE8, according to a report released Tuesday.

    The still-in-beta browser was five times more effective at warning users of potential danger than its closest rival, Mozilla's Firefox, said NSS Labs, which conducted a Microsoft-commissioned study of browser anti-malware tactics and technologies. IE9 also beat Microsoft's current production browser, IE8, by nine percentage points.

    That's just great! Now they need to just work on the speed and CSS3 and HTML5 compatibility.

    I will wait just another 2 months to see another story of how insecure the browser is.

    What do you mean by this statement? Are you saying that you have something that the company can leverage?
