[QUOTE="509322, post: 751455"] Most people on the forums already know whether or not a program is a PUP\PUA. So PUPs protection is vastly over-rated except in the case of a "user who wants to use stuff." Prolific program installers that grab stuff all over the net and run it on their system - well those types get what they get in the end. It's mostly about bandwidth and the annoyances that yahoo testers cause. Basically, the databases don't want home user testers downloading from their sites. The fact of the matter is that home users are generally considered a nuisance, and that is pretty much an industry-wide thing. [/QUOTE]
