Hi DavidR,
We here are fully aware of the general threat of bundled goodies, PUPs, additional risk-, crap-, junk- and adware.
However the average unaware or disinterested user is eventually trapped as the avoidability of these marketed goodies to gain "cheap money" becomes harder and harder. The truth that freeware is being paid by giving up part of your privacy and by trading your personal data in some form of user contempt is not fully known, we here that deal with such abuse everyday know better, while we see that the balance is more and more slipping out of the users' hands. Worse is that hordes of users do not seem to mind at all and even seem to welcome this state of affairs while merrily clicking on in some form of apathy.
