Internet Explore 8.

As the web continues to increase in complexity, so do the number of ways that hackers and malicious websites can attempt to send viruses, damage computers, obtain personal information, and monitor your online behavior.
Did You Know?
Malware is software that designed to damage your computer, such as a computer virus. It may download without your knowledge or permission.

Phishing allows criminals to obtain your personal information (like your credit card number) by pretending to be a legitimate organisation, such as your bank.
Internet Explorer helps protect against these attacks and more. Delivering a trustworthy browser means providing a highly secure and reliable browser—one that respects user choice and helps keep users in control of their PC and their information.

An independant report by NSS Labs showed that Internet Explorer 8's security features (detailed below) blocked 85% of the live threats, an exceptional score that surpassed the next best browser by a 56% margin. Read the NSS Labs report here.

SmartScreen Filter
Internet Explorer 8 helps protect you against inadvertent installation of malware, or malicious software which can compromise your data, privacy, and identity while also damaging your computer and valuable data, with the new SmartScreen Filter.
While we recommend all users enable SmartScreen, you can enable or disable it at any time. You can also help improve the web for everyone by reporting suspected malicious sites through this tool.
If the SmartScreen Filter is active and you attempt to visit a website that isn't considered safe, the below screen will appear prompting you to take alternative actions.
SmartScreen Filter
This site has been blocked by the SmartScreen Filter.
When active, the SmartScreen Filter will also notify you when you attempt to download software that is potentially unsafe.
Cross Site Scripting (XSS) Filter
Internet Explorer 8 introduces the capability to detect malicious code running on compromised websites, helping to protect you from exploits which can lead to information disclosure, cookie stealing, account/identity theft, and more. These attacks have emerged as a leading online threat so we've included the new Cross Site Scripting Filter to help you stay safer online.
Domain Highlighting
Domain Highlighting lets you more easily interpret web addresses (URLs) to help you avoid deceptive and phishing sites that attempt to trick you with misleading addresses. It does this by highlighting the domain name in the address bar in black, with the remainder of the URL string in gray, making for easier identification of the sites true identity.
Domain Highlighting
The Microsoft.com domain is easy to read.
Data Execution Detection (DEP)
Data Execution Prevention (DEP), on by default in Internet Explorer 8 in Windows Vista Service Pack 1, is a security feature that can help prevent damage to your computer from viruses and other security threats by preventing certain types of code from writing to executable memory space.
