The bare minimum corrective action when you see &quot;value added offers&quot; in a Windows installer is to cancel the installation and then revert to the most recent restore point. There&#x27;s no reason to assume the installer will honor your &quot;no thanks&quot; (as it often won&#x27;t) or that it hasn&#x27;t already taken the opportunity to hose your system (less likely but a definite possibility with the type of person who is willing to bundle malicious garbage in their installers for a buck).
