I work at a big box retailer that fixes computers for people.

I'll just stick with the official Windows Updates because I'm sure I want all those.

Gosh, maybe I need to install that "Crap Cleaner" everyone talks about so I can remove these unwanted toolbars. I'll only install software from Vendors I trust, like Oracle. There was a meeting (there's always a meeting) where it was discussed on how we could most effectively fool non-technical relatives into installing crap.Ī Dark Pattern is a type of user interface that appears to have been carefully crafted to trick users into doing things, such as buying insurance with their purchase or signing up for recurring bills. Someone wrote this, for their job, directed by their middle manager, who was directed by their rich boss. I am disappointed in us, Internet, that this is a business. Install Now? What have we been doing all this time? Backing up my files without asking seems legit. Does my Mouse not work? I'll click it again. I'm sure that if I press Decline here that it will mess up my installation of the original thing I wanted to install.I have forgotten what that was, but I'll just keep going. OMG "It communicates several times a day with servers to check for new offers and change ads on my computer?" I totally want that. What ever happened to clicking just once and getting what I needed? Other people? Never.Īh, nice, when I press Custom it's set to.wait for it.the same stuff that was gonna happen if you pressed Express.ĪND WE ARE ONLY ON STEP 2. Or, you can click Custom, because non-technical relative ALWAYS clicks Custom. We're going to do it now, when you press Next, and oh, by the way, we have Admin on your computer because just a moment ago you pressed YES on the Windows Warning that we could mess things up, because everyone ignores that. In other words, we,, are going to totally change the way you use you computer and browser the way and prevent you from easily changing it back. Install Search Protect to set my home page and default search to Conduit Search and prevent attempts to change my browser settings. Ah, and next to it there's text in the same font size and color that I totally won't read that says: Pre-selected Express installation? Super helpful, I love that. I have no idea what that glyph icon means, but it's pointing down, so that must mean download.

I totally ignore the tiny "Direct Download Link" below the friendly button. The green button CLEARLY desperately wants me to click on it. (Yes, I linked here to the URL because they don't need Google Juice from me.) I wanted to download a Skype Recorder, so I went here.
Every non-technical relative I've ever talked to has toolbars they apparently can't see, apps running in the background, browser home pages set to Russian Google clones, and they have no idea how it got that way. Call it Adware, Malware, Spyware, Crapware, it's simply unwanted.
