E-mail Us!Spyware, website re-directors, and pop-ups are nuisances. At their worst, they can take down your computer and corrupt 
your files. Now, Internet Explorer 8, the latest Microsoft browsing creation, has been deemed the strongest browser to prevent these malicious spyware instances from being downloaded in your computer.
IE 8 has a new feature called SmartScreen Filter which blocks anti-phishing, a malicious activity to attain your personal information. The SmartScreen Filter also warns users when they’re about hit a site that is potentially malicious, or has been know to spread viruses. IE 8, overall, has been composing blacklists of sites, or sites that have caused malicious activity, and from this list will know which sites should be avoided. Just like anti-virus software, IE 8 will constantly update its blacklist inventory to stay current
Internet Explorer’s version 8 has been rated higher in terms of security than Firefox, Opera, and Safari. These three other browsers actually are modelling their security features after IE’s SmartScreen Filter. So, although IE might be a little slower than the other browsers, just note that this slower processing is due to IE taking the time to run security checks to ensure your computer is virus-free.
