IE8: blocks most malware sites?

In an article sure to rile up teh intarwebs, NetworkWorld details the results of some testing (by Microsoft, no less) in which the major browsers were exposed to known malware sites to see if they correctly identified & blocked them.  The tests showed IE8 blocking 8 out of 10 sites correctly.  The article goes on to say that the results of the rest of the browsers all depend on the way they use Google’s SafeBrowsing API.  AdblockPlus+ NoScript works just fine for me, thxverymuch….
