Microsoft starts bundling IE with Windows after anti-trust terms expire

If i want my virus to infect as many machines as possible im going to write it for the most popular browser.

Thats common sense.
Oh I see... so even browsers have their own proprietary languages these days...? silly me...

:rolleyes:
 
IE9 is the most secure and capable browser currently available. I have used Firefox (buggy, especially where toolbars are concerned), Opera and chrome (a trully appaling piece of software that tries very hard to reinstall itself) and always come back to IE9. I used to use Firefox exclusively but no more.
 
On a fresh OS, how can you download another web browser unless through preinstalled one first?
It depends on your OS, on most *nix OS there are various ways to get hold of most browsers without first needing a browser.

So you bought the "IE9 most secure browser" hype eh?

IE9 is also a single platform (windows only) browser, so the fact that it's "malware detection" picks up... windows malware is hardly surprising. Browsers like Firefox, Opera and Chrome run on multiple platforms and architectures, so them investing time and resources in detecting windows malware would be a waste. There are an abundance of third party programs and add ons for windows malware detection for those browsers anyway.
 
I was just saying though for the average consumer who've just bought a PC with Windows; how would they be able to download a web browser easily? I'm just puzzled that's all.

Chrome is by far the best browser I've used... why else have firefox and IE tried to imitate its design?

Then you say

"IE9 is also a single platform (windows only) browser" (proprietary to windows you say?)

So you have in effect answered your own question.

I also suggest you download the "cross compatible" windows specific versions of firefox, chrome, and opera and try to install them on a unix machine. good luck :)

Anyway im off to download the latest security fix for c++ .............
