Internet Explorer 9 has implemented various security features that help in detecting and blocking socially engineered malware more effectively compared to other browsers.
Socially engineered malware is designed to manipulate or trick users into downloading and executing malicious software, often by pretending to be a legitimate source.
Internet Explorer 9 uses reputation-based filtering and SmartScreen Application Reputation to identify and block potentially harmful websites and downloads.
Internet Explorer 9 includes features such as ActiveX filtering, SmartScreen filter, and Application Reputation to provide strong protection against socially engineered malware.
ActiveX filtering in Internet Explorer 9 blocks potentially dangerous scripts and controls from running, reducing the risk of malware infection through these avenues.
The SmartScreen filter analyzes websites and downloads to determine their reputation and potential threat level, warning users if they attempt to access or download malicious content.
Application Reputation uses cloud-based data to assess the safety of files based on their reputation, helping users make informed decisions when downloading potentially harmful content.
