Internet Explorer 8 biedt beste bescherming
Internet Explorer 8 biedt de beste bescherming tegen social engineering malware, terwijl andere browsers hopeloos falen. NSS Labs controleerde voor de derde keer hoe goed de vijf populairste browsers van het moment omgaan met kwaadaardige websites die malware aanbieden. Het gaat hier niet om drive-by download exploits, maar om screensavers, codecs en andere applicaties die veilig lijken, maar in werkelijkheid malware bevatten.
NSS Labs performs recurring, standardized testing of web browser security. This includes rating protection against socially-engineered malware and phishing attacks.

NEW! Q1 2010 Web Browser Comparative Test: Socially-Engineered Malware
This report followed the same Live Testing methodology as the two previous tests conducted in 2009. This report contains empirically-validated evidence gathered during 18 days of 24 x 7 testing, performed every six hours, over 74 discrete test runs, each one adding fresh new malware URLs. Each product was updated to the most current version available at the time testing began, and allowed access to the live Internet.
Tested products include:
- Apple Safari 4
- Google Chrome 4
- Microsoft Internet Explorer 8
- Mozilla Firefox 3.5
- Opera 10
