To be honest, it&#x27;s not just a problem for a &quot;normal person&quot;. I can easily admit that I could easily be bitten by something like this if one of my top 10 most used installers implemented an adware addition step.<p>Sure, it&#x27;s common sense to read what you are agreeing to and sometimes the installers are just made to deceive the end-user (I am looking at you, Flash updater). But generally you just don&#x27;t have the time or don&#x27;t want to read through the 7-8 pages of an installer for a program that you have already installed hundreds or thousands of times. It requires certain amount of trust and when the chain of trust is broken, I get bitten once, sure, but the program loses an user forever. The sad thing is that this isn&#x27;t the case for the Grampa with 12 Ask.com toolbars installed.
