In a new blog post, Microsoft talks more about how it has tried to make Internet Explorer 10 more secure with features such as SmartScreen URL filtering, Application Reputation and more



From Neowin:

In May, NSS Labs issued the results of its study of web browsers in terms of blocking malware. It showed Microsoft's Internet Explorer 10 blocking 99.96 percent of all malware during their test period, which was a much better percentage than Chrome or Firefox. Today, Microsoft went over some of the features in IE10 that helps it stop malware and other security issues along with the results of another security report.

The official IE blog states that for stopping direct malware attacks via websites, IE10 uses a combination of SmartScreen URL filtering and Application Reputation features. For websites that are normally trusted but become infected by malware, IE10 users can use the XSS Filter that is made to fight off these kinds of exploits. Finally, IE10 has more memory protection features and its Enhanced Protected Mode.
