1233657 2011-09-26 00:49:00 I heard the WEB BROWSER - Safari is pretty good at preventing malware and other kinds of threats . But im not sure whether this is true , so can anyone tell me if this is true or its fake , to let you know i have a windows pc not mac Nhashon (16466)
1233658 2011-09-26 00:54:00 Try it and find out. They say IE is the best browser to prevent malware. But its the user (who doesnt know what theyre installing), not the browser that puts it there Speedy Gonzales (78)
1233659 2011-09-26 01:32:00 You dont even have to have a web browser open to get malware on a computer - if you get hit by a "drive-by-download" it can infect, as long as you have a working internet connection. wainuitech (129)

1233661 2011-09-26 03:28:00 security holes have been found in Safari(in Win), as well as all the others.
Its the idiot behind the keyboard who is usually the real security risk.

Click that that pop-up, & again....nearly there. One more click & pop-up will go away, promise :-)

Yeah I saw that as well. It doesnt necessarily make IE more secure(??), just better at detecting bogus websites (???)

I dont like IE anyway (just a personal bias)

1233665 2011-09-26 22:27:00 Well everyone ,thanx for your help , i think i will upgrade to a new version of internet explorer soon and will not download latest safari web browser , cause i still love my chrome . Nhashon (16466)
1233666 2011-09-27 00:37:00 Safari is made by that horrible fruity company so I don't touch it. In the way of best browser I would say Chrome, because of its speed and add-ons, but Opera probably is the most secure. jd2759 (15763)
