Oh. Then it does come with potentially unwanted software.

Only if you do not read what your installing, but I guess tat is 99% of people.

That is what potentially unwanted software, phishing, or any type of con does. It exploits the lack of knowledge, the gullibility, or simply habits of other people. Naturally such things should not be supported.

Adding yahoo search is hardly malicious spyware.

New idea- would I be able to use an external hard drive to add RAM and/or improve gigahertz?

Not necessarily malicious, but potentially unwanted.

I would be willing to pay $10 for the service if it didn't include that sort of stuff, but I doubt most others would. They have to make money somehow, and I'm glad it [apparently] is through legitimate software, though their method is slightly underhanded.

But I always, always read what I'm installing, and like I said, that computer has nothing but games on it, so if I had to nuke it from orbit, I wouldn't lose any sleep.

Yahoo toolbar is awesome.  ;D

Game booster, smart defrag and advanced systemcare are actually cool things (from iobit), it helps my toaster run games :P

I've used 10bit products for years (Advanced System Care you get for around 10bucks a year and is well worth it IMO), all you have to do is select not to install the unwanted stuff on the free versions....hardly rocket science.
