This equates to about 340 million PCs worldwide. This is a handy-dandy little webpage you can use to see how secure your browser is.  Here’s my browser using Google Chrome: My Firefox browser only gets a 2 out of 4, while Internet Explorer gets a 4 out of 4!  Now, in fairness, this application was designed by Microsoft and so it is skewed towards the security features that Microsoft considers important.  However, the grading system is transparent: Dangerous Downloads (1 point total) – Does the browser help protect you from websites that are known to distribute socially engineered malware?  IE 9 gets 1 point, Firefox gets 0 and Chrome gets 0.
