I doubt about this microsoft-paid tests. They could do well in protecting from phishing attacks, maybe, but malware, malware and IE are literally married! I have enough experience rescuing countless ppl by installing alternate browsers on their windows PCs, to the point that I just wish the default was never a microsoft's browser!
