[QUOTE="plat, post: 1014653, member: 74969"] Recently, I was in a hurry to test a piece of software and since it was a prev. trusted application, I rapidly clicked thru the installer dialog without reading it. Next thing I know, Google Chrome is snug and warm on my desktop--yikes! Not malware but not a wanted software either. Just one example. Carelessness, ignorance, curiosity, naivete, absent mindedness, distractions, thinking software never changes its installation parameters--what else? You'd think a brush with malware would teach you a lesson but I've seen companies get hit multiple times. All you can do is do you. [/QUOTE]
