One out of every 14 programs that are normally downloaded by Windows Users most often on their PCs or laptops, turns out to be malicious, said by Microsoft in most recent statement of Tuesday afternoon, sources said.

Therefore, next time whenever a website (which was opened by you just to watch a movie or a java typed file into your browser) says that to view this movie a new software download is required, we suggest you must thick twice.

This suggestion is only in reference of most recent Microsoft’s statement and your choice may harm your PC or laptop because there is good chance that the software or program, which is being intended to be downloaded by an Internet surfer, is malicious.

Therefore a feature in Internet Explorer is also seen that actually warns its users to stay away from the potentially untrustworthy or you may say unknown software.

Microsoft further detailed about this malicious software update that nearly 5 percent of Internet surfers do not consider this type of warning and they accidently download a Trojan horse like malicious program on their PCs or laptops anyway.

Criminals were free for delivering or injecting their malicious codes onto any computer of laptop more or less give years ago because Internet browsers were having a lot of bugs at that time as well as most of Internet surfers were not aware of the patching.

But since then, the security over Internet browsers has become a key factor to software giants. Therefore the Internet browsers of current era are recognized as more secure.
