Internet Explorer 8 Protect Your Browsing by SmartScreen Filter

Malware has become the scourge of the Internet, and it’s not just the security experts who are worried.

We’re proud of the protection SmartScreen® Filter provides to protect IE8 users from such attacks, and I’d like share some of the latest numbers on our level of protection.

And yes, you can see more features of IE 8, we already have written earlier.

Since Microsoft has launched IE8 in March 2009, SmartScreen has blocked over 560 million attempts to download malware, recently averaging over 3 million blocks per day. IE8’s SmartScreen Filter has continued to improve its protection against Socially Engineered Malware threats.
