RE: Internet Explorer 9 outperforms competing browsers in malware download test

But if the issue is realy social engineering, then would it not seem that user awareness training would be better - and if so, maybe the other browser developers are much more in favor of that approach. MS still seems to harp on the philosophy that "We know more than you do, so we're going to protect you from what we know to be bad stuff, whether you like it or not". I worry that such philosophy lulls users into a false sense of security and laziness. Remember, convenience generaly breeds carelessness!!! MS makes if convenitne to ignore such threats, and then users become careless & depend on someone else for their protection. Not a good scenario in MY book.
