Newshound writes "The idea of bundling software has been around for
quite some time. For years AOL links and icons were bundled with just
about everything. Here though it was merely icons and links attached to
more frivolous applications. The recent trend with Malware force
installing itself is much worse. This happening hidden from view, during
a regular application's install has angered just about everyone who
discovered it. But now companies are targeting the basic applications
that make your computer work. They are abusing the trust built up with
the fact that you are not likely to pay attention when installing basic
applications from reputable companies."
