Yahoo published a story yesterday basically stating what most of us already know.
Internet Explorer users can be as much as 21 times more likely to end up with a spyware-infected PC than people who go online with Mozilla’s Firefox browser, academic researchers from Microsoft’s backyard said in a recently published paper.
“We can’t say whether Firefox is a safer browser or not,” said Henry Levy, one of the two University of Washington professors who, along with a pair of graduate students, created Web crawlers to scour the Internet for spyware in several 2005 forays. “But we can say that users will have a safer experience [surfing] with Firefox.”
