It automatically installs xobni which can really screw up your outlook settings. there is absolutey NO WAY of stopping this pre-install.also be careful of the options to install the internet search bar.

Didn't realise that, as I avoid Outlook like the plague. Why do software providers do stupid things like this?

Title: Re: PC HELP - messenger install Post by: kinboshi on July 27, 2010, 09:47:38 AM for the moneys? Yes, guess so. Such a short-term view though. It's the geeky, early-adopters who try out these programs, and if they like them they tell their friends and so on. It's these first users who will be most upset by what is essentially malware, and then aren't likely to recommend it to anyone. Sigh.

Yes, maybe hard for them to get paid otherwise, in a crowded marketplace. I'll normally start my search in softpedia, to avoid malware/adware/spyware. No way I'm just downloading based on a google search. Title: Re: PC HELP - messenger install Post by: henrik777 on July 27, 2010, 12:10:43 PM for the moneys? Yes, guess so.
