Actually, listening to Trolls pimping Linux or Mac and making outlandish bullshit claims that they are completely “safe and unable to get viruses.” is where helpful “advice” becomes a liability.

Either help this FReeper fix the problem, or shut the hell up. It is not at all difficult to go into the registry to fix this problem. Some laptops come with a loaded Trojan that keeps defaulting the browser to the unwanted engine.

So far as claiming that Mac, Lin-sux, (Linux) etc. don't do this is not at all true. It happens to them also. There is no such thing as a perfectly secure OS.
