Tested browsers were:

-Windows Internet Explorer 9 (beta)
-Mozilla Firefox 3.6
-Opera 10

Internet Explorer 9 beta became the winner. It was able to stop 98.7% of live threats. The second place was conquered by Internet Explorer 8 (90.2%). Firefox 3.6 came third (19.5%). Opera 10 was left the last. It didn't catch a single percent of live threats included in the test.
