I’d like to quote one of my favorite artists:
But still we are victims of word games,
semantics is always a b*tch:
places once called under-developed and ‘backwards’
are now called ‘mineral rich’.
Responsibility is a two way road; maybe avast should take responsibility of their actions to “fool” inexperienced computer users? And let’s face it, the (hide & seek) opt-OUT game of installers is just that; a very well planned game to fool some users.
The only actions users can do to change the status quo is to voice their opinion and/or refuse to use such programs.
And let’s not forget that there are cases where the avast user had NO way of “choosing not to install”, i.e. un-selecting force-fed additional software.
