Adobe Flash
Thanks Adobe and McAfee but I already have the full McAfee suite installed, can’t wait to see how fast my computer is with two McAfee apps running…
Java – Ask Search App
Dear Larry E – you’re one of the richest people in da world, why are you sticking us with this junkware? The Ask Search App aka “Toolbar” hijacks all of your browser homepages, your default search engines and add’s browser components to all installed browsers. None of this is removed when you “uninstall” the Ask “Toolbar” application. Because… we all need more toolbars and personal info collecting browser add-ons!
Apple iCloud
On the surface this looks harmless enough but look again. Someone in Dialog Boxes From Hell got a gold medal here – The dialog box title asks a Yes/No question “Install the iCloud Conrol Panel?”. But the only options presented are yes (download control panel), or be remind me to say yes (Remind me later). I solved this one by uninstalling iTunes, free at last!
Epson Printer dialog
Epson fail – every single time you print Epson hits the internet to pull down adds, ink prices and in this dialog box they’re busted in action pulling down a Web Analytics script for whatever purposes they deemed fit. Dear Epson you already have my money, I just want to print!
Microsoft Office 365 – Password
