| The IE 9 team has released statics showing that the browser's new security features have helped prevent malwares attacks up to 95 % of the time
Microsoft has added new security features progressively with each version of Internet Explorer (IE). For example, IE 7 introduced a phishing filter, and IE 8 added a cross-site scripting filter and InPrivate browsing for better protecting the users’ privacy
Summarizing the changes in IE9 which drive Microsoft to claim it is the most secure browser from the Redmond company, the most important new security feature is the Download Manager with SmartScreen filter integration. SmartScreen is a URL blacklist providing malware and phishing protection. Starting with this version, Microsoft introduced SmartScreen download reputation. SmartScreen download reputation is a browser feature that uses reputation data to remove unnecessary warnings for well-known files, and shows more severe warnings when the download has a higher risk of being malicious. This reduces the problem of having the users ignoring or deactivating these warnings if they appear too often. The download manager also performs some malware checks, digital signature checks, and so on.

IE9's also changed the way it gives you notifications.It now acts much more like Chrome or Firefox, sliding up a small panel at the bottom of the browser window with the notification and staying there until you act on it. No longer do you have to click through popup windows or interrupt your browsing before you can act on something—when IE9 has something to tell you, it tells you and stays out of your way until you're ready to act.
