"The NSS Labs report shows that IE8 is effective on its own 69 percent of the time when dealing with socially-engineered Malware. Firefox v3.07 earned a 30 percent effectiveness rate, while Safari (v.3) earned 24 percent, Google’s Chrome (v. 1.0.154) earned 16 percent, Opera (v. 9.64) earned 5 percent, and IE7 earned 4 percent.
However, the results are far from conclusive. There were only 492 sites tested in the first place, a rather small testing sample. In addition, the test relied on standard protections offered by the browser, depending on the browser used; no two will have the exact same set of default protections.
In addition, the report itself is suspect as it is funded by Microsoft. Funding aside, the timing of the report and the breakdown of testing is something that one needs to take a long hard look at.Perhaps it is unwise to use a test you paid for as proof of why your browser is better than those of your rivals. In an interview last week, Microsoft said it hopes we (the users) will look past the sponsorship issues. Yet, how can we? It is impossible not to question them, considering the testing methods and the hands-down victory that IE8 obtained as a result.
The test in itself would have been better if there had been more time spent testing malicious URLs, and the layered abilities of the browsers were taken into account with the results documented. Something else that would have added value is the ability to re-create the test outside of the environment used by NSS.
The published results, paid for and used by Microsoft, can be read here."

Pues va a ser que hay sospechas fundadas de que el estudio ha sido manipulado por Microsoft:

#2 Te me has adelantado.
#3 A mi también se me puso la mosca detrás de la oreja, no es la primera vez que M$ "patrocina" estos estudios poco serios..
#2 y #3 Está claro que siempre hay que documentarse antes de hablar... pero es que ya me daba pereza indagar en algo tan trillado como es el que el IE venza en pruebas de seguridad (y con diferencia aplastante más)... así que me he limitado a poner el comentario lógico...
..... lo que sugiere que microsoft sigue pagando muy bien los estudios...
Pongo un ejemplo claro que me ha pasado hace 4 dias. Han colado un script de php en un dominio de un servidor y se ha infectado todos los dominios del mismo usuario. Con Firefox me salia lo de web atacante, la recomendación para ver la web al cliente ha sido pasarse a IE, que no saltaba ninguna alarma.
Con lo anterior podemos afirmar sin riesgos a equivocarnos, que esta encuesta es Falsa.

Update
Rick Moy, president of NSS Labs, sent us a follow-up e-mail to tell us that it was Microsoft's online security engineering team (not marketing) that hired NSS Labs to do recurring benchmark testing so they could improve their services. Only once Microsoft's security engineering team saw the results did it send the details over to the marketing department.
In terms of sponsorship of the reports, "this stuff is expensive to do right, and we need to monetize it somehow," Moy told Ars. "We invited Google, Mozilla, Apple, Opera to participate, but they didn’t even bother to respond, except for Opera, which stated they “don’t really focus on malware."
Hasta estoy por votarla irrelevante, porque esto ya parece cachondeo
