This is a very bias survey. I’m assuming they’re using firefox with no add-ons, which is just unrealistic. If you want a browser to protect your computer from viruses use firefox and download the Ad Blocker Plus add-on. Its a continually updating database of bad sites/links/adds/pop-ups that prevents firefox from opening any links in the database. If you happen to come across a site thats not on the list and get a virus, it sends the site address to the database to block it for you and all other users next time you come across it. If you really want to see a site thats been blocked there’s an easy option to display the link anyways. Very convenient, easy to use, and incredibly safe. I browse sites all the time with horrible reputations for malware, and I’ve never even had a virus warning.

I wonder about the validity of this test. Most malware will target IE because it has the largest (and probably least tech savvy) user base. Furthermore one should also use antivirus software rather than rely upon the browser. I think that if one uses IE one is much more likely to have problems with malware than if using other browsers.

There is a good choice of browsers for all users, but none are 100% secure.
Essentially, the best browser has to be what the end user is comfortable using and educating and assisting them to make it safer and more secure.
There is a plethora of addons that can help to achieve this, but even so, as with IE8 (RC1) catching 69% of malware that still means that 31% got through, so the battle continues.
Interesting read and stats though.

It’s a little bit unbelievable that the Firefox has only 30% of malware catch rate, which is twice less than IE 8 here! Maybe I should switch from FF to IE 8…
