The test was a measure of how well the browser alerts users to the danger of DOWNLOADED EXECUTABLES, based on "reputation." A neat idea, but not NOT a measure of overall browser security.
I see Microsoft just increased their ad budget for PCWorld.
That's the trolliest headline I've read on a tech site in a while.

It justs points out the version of Chrome used was 6 instead of Chrome 8. It doesn't say they used dated version of FF or Safari. Also, Chrome 6 is handily beaten by IE8 and chrome 6 was in use till recently
