Most customers are infected with malware through deceptive HTML email links & browsing infected web pages. All of these links rout through the desktop’s web browser.
FACTS:
- Internet Explorer 8 & 9 block 90-100% of known web malware.
- Safari, Chrome, and FireFox: just 13%.
Most web-borne outbreaks could have been stopped by simply having the right browser deployed. Antivirus software isn’t strong or fast enough. If your company wants to be secure, they need to deploy Internet Explorer 9.
- Internet Explorer 9 utterly dominates malware-blocking stats
