Most people probably don't read the small print that would let them know just what they are agreeing to when they install a program.
True, this is their fault, and I know I've been guilty of it. But what they don't anticipate is that one program will remove another program that they installed knowingly, possibly even paid for.
I have registered Ad-aware, and I don't remove everything that it describes as spyware. I sort of like Alexa for example, so I let the Alexa stuff live, while removing the others, most particularly the double-click stuff that tends to accumulate from who knows where.
If I were to install a video program that removed Ad-aware from my system, I'd be a very unhappy camper, I can promise you that.
