Re: [WIN7] Google Search Results Hijacked..

I'm not talking about user error. I'm talking about being tricked into clicking on something which installs malware.

So, you're saying windows users are more easily tricked? Because I'm not aware of firefox behaving differently on different OSes. It seems to work exactly the same for me on OSx, Win, and Linux.

Are you trolling or just nagging? Malware gets installed on Windows all the time. Malware can't get installed on *nix without proper permissions. That's what I'm saying.

And only if you disable UAC on windows. Which I always reply to this FUD with. That's what I am saying.
