@Ocelot152 O and btw.. u probably will get infected by exploits and drive by downloads. IE doesen't block those, NoScript does. IE only scans the stuff you download. And again.. if you aren't stupid u don't download shit.
What those stupid IE fans don't unserstand is that Firefox is better than IE because there is shit tons of addons you can install on it. Addons like NoScript, Redirect Remover etc. IE is good for kind of people who type with 1 finger. They have no idea whetever the file they're downloading might be malicious or not.
IE for beginners and kind of people who type with 1 finger.
Using my old Vista with AV & Firefox I never had any problems.
Yet I have read today of ANOTHER vulnerability with IE (it's in the news).
It's hardly encouraging for people to go back to IE when a new serious threat appears at least once a year.
At the end of the day, it's up to the individual what browser they want to use. If they use Windows but don't have AV there's NO browser that will protect them.
why don't you understand anything guys? why don't you go read opline on the mozilla site? FIREFOX DOES NOT SCAN FILES. IT FORCES THE AV IN THE PC TO SCAN THE FILES, IF THERE IS NO AV IN THE PC, IT JUST DISPLAYS THE MESSAGE AND LEAVES IT ALONE.
also firefox lets sites hijack your browser still. add on for that crap? you're relying on someone else to secure the browser...something mozilla should have done.
Firefox fanboys can argue till their blue in the face but it's a proven fact IE8 is a much safer more secure browser. my computer is more important than a tiny barely noticable speed difference.
I have firefox 3.6 and it allowed a site to download a trojan like the first site you went to in the video. thankfully I have Microsoft security essentials installed and it stopped it.
to all the guys that say click save and crap..you guys are crazy. you want to scan the download first! not after it has a chance to install without your permission or knowledge.
I have firefox 3.6 and it allowed a site to download a trojan like the first site you went to in the video. thankfully I have Microsoft security essentials installed and it stopped it.
You all are funny. Firefox is a browser and the best and only thing I want form it is to browse the web and have good add-on support. There are addons that make Firefox do this but not out the box. And honestly that is the way I like it. Firefox is about making choices and customization. So this is one video I laughed though. After all I have seen Word docs try to infect computers but no one thinks Word should scan...or should it ...hmmmm.
Firefox scans JACKSHIT. because of this piece of crap browser i had to recover my data from my hardisk giving a whole day of my holiday. The fucking virus malware thing came from displaying a pdf file about some pagan myths in a seperate tab in shitfox. After recovering my data with a pendrive i formated and installed a clean windows and actually tried opening the same document in ie from that website. it actually CAUGHT it before it did anyharm. so firefox is dead for me....
Hi, Matt i think it would have been better if you would have hit save so that the viewers can see that firefox automatically scans files before saving or downloading. You can configure firefox so that you can't be redirected without the users permission so that takes out the redirecting
@snowsnowthesnowman nah sandboxie can get infected with keyloggers and the malware can inject to your system restore so why don't just stfu i don't trust to test malware in sandboxie...
It never took 150 days to patch a hole that was actually being exploited. If it took that long to patch a theoretical exploit, who cares? I have tried all the alternative browsers except Safari and have always gone back to IE within an hour, even when I was still using IE7. I have tried every version of FF and haven't liked any of them. The downloader is horrible and initial load time is very slow. Since IE8 has now been proven to be best at blocking malware, there is even less reason to switch.
i've had the redirect problem with both IE8 and Firefox, yea IE8 was proven to be more effective in blocking malware, but guess who funded that case study???..............MICROSOFT!!!!!, so what do you expect.
also, i'd definately prefer my browser to let me go anywhere and download anything, and let ME be the gate keeper to my computer. if you intentionally download and install malware, then you're retarded and deserve whatever you get.
i feel so smart when i watch his videos cuz he always says its really rare to find people who dont fall for things but like i've been in those situations and didnt fall for it! w00t and im only 13 :P
Well thats because other browsers dont have the add-ons firefox has lol. firefox has an endless list of add-ons for security and more . so to properly judge firefox those add-ons should be installed and enabled .
As I said, browsers should be tested in their default out of the box state. Having to install addons to achieve acceptable security is a big minus in my opinion.
Yes I do use IE8. If Firefox recommends installing addons, then why don't they include them as part of the installer? That to me is a serious design flaw. Releasing something to the public they know isn't safe unless the user installs something else is kind of stupid.
lol so if internet explorer 8 had all those add-ons you would not add them ? haha yeah right..
And anyway even firefox without the add-ons is overall a better browser than ie,the fact ie is integrated into the operating system is a major problem .look at how many times ie has been hit by viruses etc .and firefox is open source i rest my case.
You can rest it but you're wrong on every count. I don't need addons because IE8 is complete without them. The fact that it's integrated into the OS is a plus, not a minus. Many programs (including Firefox) are able to utilize the built in connectivity and other elements already there. Developing these other programs would have been much harder without the IE elements being utilized for auto updating and basic connectivity. All of the browsers have been hit by viruses and attacks.
I also do not use open source software and do not consider Firefox being that as a plus. It's not what it's cracked up to be and even Open Office is in serious decline with many people returning to MS Office. In fact, you needed IE to even download your beloved Firefox, which has been proven to fall short in protection.
LMAO omg get with the program pal..Internet explorer is the most attacked browser out there..most viruses are designed for IE ..look how long it takes microsoft to fix problems with it ? it takes them ages to patch problems i think one problem with IE7 took them 150 days or something like that .whereas firefox patched a similar problem with theres in 9 days lol...obviously i had to download firefox with internet explorer lol that means nothing ..i had to download it somewhere lol. so silly.
And exactly what program is this? Yours and the other paranoid MS bashers out there? No thanks. MS has patched every REAL problem rapidly and effectively. Only potential ones that were not being actually exploited have taken longer. IE is attacked more because it is the most used, period. Instead of attacking MS, people should be on their knees thanking them for making it possible for all of us to even be able to be on the net in the first place. IE8 rules in the browser security arena.
Wow your ignorance is amazing .that has to be one of the dumbest comments of all time when you said "IE8 rules in the browser security arena".
I think you should do some research and see how many problems have been left unpatched with IE and how long it took them to fix them in comparison to firefox and even other browsers.
You do not even recognise that a Browser thats integrated into an OS is a major security flaw. that worries me because your talking like you understand computers .but u dont.
I know you have seen the other videos and know that Matt agrees with me that IE8 is the best at security. An operating system these days has to include a browser otherwise how could you connect to the net in the first place to be able to see or download anything? As I said, the integration of IE's core components into Windows is a plus and a huge boon to software developers. Again, MS has been prompt and efficient at patching all security holes that were actually being exploited.
The problem is people just use internet explorer because its part of the operating system of windows so a lot of people who have not heard of better alternatives know no better..Very few people use internet explorer again after using firefox ...You say MS were prompt and efficient ? when the track record says different ..Is over 150 days to patch all holes efficient in your eyes ? if so. i would higher your standards..
..... u can change the security settings in options. there are saftey addons. u have it set to not use ur anti virus. and it scan it when u click save and if its not safe will not do it.. not a good job on this vid
If you get the proper add-ons for Firefox, such as WOT (Web of Trust) ,LinkExtend, and NoScript, your browser will be nearly impenetrable. I have never in three years (that was the time when I started using Firefox) gotten a virus with Firefox, you just need to know what you're doing.
First, It needs to download the file before it can scan the file. How do you expect Firefox to scan it without you downloading it. Once it finishes downloading, thats when firefox scans
I'll take Web of Trust and AdBlock Plus over IE8 any day of the week and twice on Sunday. But just like with music, it's a personal preference. I am not a novice computer user anyway, so even w/ out any add-ons would be less likely to get a Driveby download. I DO HATE all the ridiculous banner ads that IE is powerless to prevent, so to me the choice is FF.
Also if you use the WebOfTrust add-on for Firefox you wouldn't be able to get to those pages without a huge warning blocking your screen. So maybe stock IE 8 might be good but Firefox owns when it comes to add-on capability. In my opinion. Great videos Matt you do a lot of good for people, I send my non-tech friends to your vids to break things down for em.
I had malware on my computer and after I deleted everything from my computer with Comodo,Avira and Super Antispyware. Firefox still had problems with doing a test search for antivirus, I kept getting re-directed. IE8 and Chrome were free of re- directs.
Firefox and Chrome both share Google's database. IE uses Microsoft's database. That's the only difference. This test is pretty much pointless IMO, as no browser will prevent the user from accessing the site (they all offer a "proceed anyway" button)
IDK why this guy is testing every browser as if it in some way prevents attacks. If you're going to do that, you might as well test ActiveX exploits for IE and Firefox. Oh right, Firefox doesn't have ActiveX. Well, I guess we know who would win that
and thats the point.. he is testing whether this browsers can help u regarding this malwares.. look, a browers which can also be used in antimalwre, that is rily good
Can someone help me here? I CANT WATCH YOUTUBE. I accidentally blocked an ad that this video was showing, now everything is blocked. I tried Temp. allow all this page but nothing works.
nice man / well i use firefox all the time and how i see it if you have a good anti virus on ur computer u should be ok
and if u dont have anti virus i dont think is a good idia dont matter wat browser u use
and everyone should not be downloading anything if they dont know wat it is
firefox still my fav and i hope oneday they will step up whit this and i use kaspersky internet security 2009 for the ones who wanted to know and it blocks most of this stuff out but agin dont down if u dont no
I fell for one of those computer scan tricks once like the ones on 2:50 and 4:18 once. I'm getting a Mac and will install Linux as a dual boot to avoid them.
Nice review, but it is not scientific and u shouldn't make claims based on it. 1st of all, testing each browser at a different time is very wrong, in addition the browsers are not subjected to the same sites. To get a clear view of which browser is the safest, test them and the same time against the same set of sites. Ideally this should be repeated several times before you can make a conclusion. Be cautious when u interpret ur results, at least notify readers of this.
wait did you say the Chome test was with the latest BETA version of Chomre??? do you know what version it was, because there is like 3 different versions, the stable (the usual one everyone gets), the Beta (not so stable, has been tested more, but you would have to change the channel), and the Developer (most new one, gets little tests, and you would have to change the channel to get that one as well)
i don't care if firefox blocks anything or not cuz i got KIS but what i believe is that malware don't get into your pc by themselves through firefox. i may be wrong.
anyways awesome review matt. looking forward to your BIG tutorial! xD
Hey mrizos, could you do one with the new versions of Chrome/Firefox/IE? Curious to see which does the best job now...

Apparently you're wrong according to Matt.
Also, Chrome sends out unaddressed packets to an undisclosed IP address. In other words, Google is spying on you.

True That. DO NOT use Chrome. Google even monitors your E-MAILS!! Pussies.

First, It needs to download the file before it can scan the file. How do you expect Firefox to scan it without you downloading it. Once it finishes downloading, thats when firefox scans

I didn't know FireFox (w/out add-ons) allowed so many malicious downloads. Best to use WOT (Web of Trust) It'll stop bad sites in their tracks.
Still FireFox owns the rest.

FF has download scanning. Whenever you download somethis, after its done, it says checking for viruses...
joesalad21 2 years ago
I'll take Web of Trust and AdBlock Plus over IE8 any day of the week and twice on Sunday. But just like with music, it's a personal preference. I am not a novice computer user anyway, so even w/ out any add-ons would be less likely to get a Driveby download. I DO HATE all the ridiculous banner ads that IE is powerless to prevent, so to me the choice is FF.
georgetime 2 years ago 4
Also if you use the WebOfTrust add-on for Firefox you wouldn't be able to get to those pages without a huge warning blocking your screen. So maybe stock IE 8 might be good but Firefox owns when it comes to add-on capability. In my opinion. Great videos Matt you do a lot of good for people, I send my non-tech friends to your vids to break things down for em.

IE can't touch Firefox for one MAJOR reason: ADBLOCK PLUS!

I had malware on my computer and after I deleted everything from my computer with Comodo,Avira and Super Antispyware. Firefox still had problems with doing a test search for antivirus, I kept getting re-directed. IE8 and Chrome were free of re- directs.
purovargas819 2 years ago
Pointless dude, FF won't block the inital download it will download it and then scan it for viruses and then tell you if it is a virus.

Firefox and Chrome both share Google's database. IE uses Microsoft's database. That's the only difference. This test is pretty much pointless IMO, as no browser will prevent the user from accessing the site (they all offer a "proceed anyway" button)
IDK why this guy is testing every browser as if it in some way prevents attacks. If you're going to do that, you might as well test ActiveX exploits for IE and Firefox. Oh right, Firefox doesn't have ActiveX. Well, I guess we know who would win that

I agree, It's stupid since Browsers aren't designed to be a security tool.

and thats the point.. he is testing whether this browsers can help u regarding this malwares.. look, a browers which can also be used in antimalwre, that is rily good
jisuna5618 2 years ago
FireFox works with your AV it doesn't really have good prevention it's self, but it uses the AV coding to block, and remove the Malware.

nice man / well i use firefox all the time and how i see it if you have a good anti virus on ur computer u should be ok
and if u dont have anti virus i dont think is a good idia dont matter wat browser u use
and everyone should not be downloading anything if they dont know wat it is
firefox still my fav and i hope oneday they will step up whit this and i use kaspersky internet security 2009 for the ones who wanted to know and it blocks most of this stuff out but agin dont down if u dont no

Firefox, in my opinion, can become the most secure browser if you have the right add-ons.

pranaygtr 2 years ago
Nice review, but it is not scientific and u shouldn't make claims based on it. 1st of all, testing each browser at a different time is very wrong, in addition the browsers are not subjected to the same sites. To get a clear view of which browser is the safest, test them and the same time against the same set of sites. Ideally this should be repeated several times before you can make a conclusion. Be cautious when u interpret ur results, at least notify readers of this.

wait did you say the Chome test was with the latest BETA version of Chomre??? do you know what version it was, because there is like 3 different versions, the stable (the usual one everyone gets), the Beta (not so stable, has been tested more, but you would have to change the channel), and the Developer (most new one, gets little tests, and you would have to change the channel to get that one as well)
So are you sure it was the BETA one?
