I hate things that do that. Its one thing if "I" change something, but another if someone does it TO me and has some lame excuse of "its in the agreement form".
I am fairly computer literate, but something hit me 2 times recently that pushed me over the edge. I am carefull of what I download ect... but I do allow Javascript to run because of some sites I go to use it. But while looking around (and not porn) I got a pop-up of a realtime clock (or some such) and I closed it, but it seemed to hang a bit before it closed, well there is a company named Xupiter that auto loaded that program, changed my browser, and infested my registry
I got it unloaded, but I am sure a casual computer user wouldnt have been able to. After searching around the group is located in silicon valley but has an address in a country oversees at an address that dont exists. And they say that they prompt the user before installing anything, which is a lie.
I have ran into this evil crud 2 times now. That is the kind of things that are messing up the internet. True, I can lock down my system to a point that nothing can happen, but then I would be getting alerts anytime I want to do something that will access a Cookie or some such.
Bah, sorry for the rant. I hate when things like that happens.
