📎 AI Summary:
The thread discusses a security-focused claim that Microsoft/Internet Explorer is not as insecure as critics suggest, referencing independent test results from a respected lab and emphasizing that the findings don’t prove other browsers are unsafe. The key question is essentially whether the test outcomes change general security guidance; the implied answer is “no”—users still must keep systems patched, use anti-malware, and avoid risky behavior regardless of browser. Overall sentiment from the original poster is defensive and reassuring toward IE, arguing against browser-bashing and portraying Microsoft’s security approach as serious.

Once again, MS continues to prove they are taking security seriously and that Internet Explorer does not deserve being bashed or discarded due to security.

Note that NSSLabs is a highly respected, independent testing facility.

Note these finding do NOT suggest the alternatives are unsafe. In fact, you need to keep your systems updated and patched, use a decent anti-malware solution, and avoid risky behavior - the same precautions needed regardless the browser of choice.
