Microsoft aims at IE6 holdouts, highlights security
One of the ways Microsoft plans to push Internet Explorer 6 and Internet Explorer 7 users to upgrade to Internet Explorer 8 is convincing them the latest version is much more secure, which it is. Dean Hachamovitch, general manager of Internet Explorer, last week posted a story on the IEBlog about how IE8 managed to block a malicious webpage he was linked to by one of his close friends on Facebook. What we found more interesting though, was when Hachamovitch put this feature a bit more into perspective: “IE8’s SmartScreen now blocks malware sites over two million times a day.”
