I used IE where yahoo toolbar will auto installed and it was tough to use, tough too see and also tough to remove. I personally hate these yahoo guys. Now they have bought tumblr, not sure the fate of tumblr.
Hello, ionamartin123, you really need to take some of the stuff you read about IE 10 and Win8 with a shaker full of salt. As in any tests that use IE's reputation system. Reputation systems are easy to gimmick, and they won't block a malware download; they will just nag you to death about it, in a best case scenario. The catch is that there are plenty of downloads from apparently legit sources that won't trip IE 10's reputation system because the downloads are OK, but if they are from a bogus site, you can get hit with unexpected payloads, and then you're still infected. MBAM Pro is your friend, as is good AV software.

I do bunches of malware removals on Win7 systems running IE 9 & 10, and a fairly large number of removals on Win8 machines.
