the individual candidates under the microscope and examined. Unfortunately, it has been in the study only on the Internet Explorer , Google Chrome and Firefox focused and calm as Opera or Safari browser completely sidelined.Winner in a comparison of the browser was Google.

In the defense against malware should be done by calling a web page.Nearly 400 of the 3000 Malware URLs could be filtered out by the browsers. Finally, it should be pointed out that the study was commissioned by Google. How Accuvant Labs asserts, however, they had to perform the job objective comparison. In any case, the study provides a fairly comprehensive insight into the current state of safety technology in browsers.
