[QUOTE="Ink, post: 329684, member: 3"] For this reason, I do not think it's an ideal solution for the majority of PC users. As an alternate, most users can protect their PC against OpenCandy and other unwanted software by checking they have: 1. Antivirus with PUP-enabled. 2. Unchecky - [url]http://unchecky.com[/url] 3. Always the Custom installation option 4. Read before clicking Yes/Next/Accept/Continue - Remember you can click on Decline. Adware, toolbars and other unwanted software can be prevented IF the PC user reads what is on-screen, or chooses to Decline offers. Unchecky runs silently in the background, using minimal resources.
