Talk:Potentially unwanted program

Warning about Bloatware

Good idea SamHB, added that warning! I was doing this one too late at night, so I didn't even think of that. Thanks for watching!

I want to make the warning about installing stuff / hijacking your web browser even more serious. I have a really good example of this, for which I can take screenshots. And it's freeware! They must be getting a kickback from Google. Disgusting. Though it's actually good software.

But, as you have recently found out, uploading images involves putting stuff on a web site that you have access to. I don't have such a web site. (Perhaps the only person over the age of 3 without his own web site.) Could I load them onto your site? Or mail them to you? SamHB (talk) 21:42, 8 January 2016 (EST)

That sounds like a good idea--I really hate how easily people fall for that. It's not that common for everyone to have a site. Mine is my contribution to a network...otherwise I probably wouldn't have one. Anyway, I'd be happy to put them on my site, or let you do it. You can do one of two things--e-mail the images to david_b4[at]archnet.us, or e-mail me a username and password you'd like, and I'll give you FTP access so you upload your own now and in the future. I'd be happy to do either! --DavidB4 (talk) 22:10, 8 January 2016 (EST)

I'll mail you 3 screenshots, for 3 attempts that this program makes to install stuff on your computer. It's really an excellent and very highly rated program; it's too bad that it does this. SamHB (talk) 23:19, 8 January 2016 (EST)

Done. It's actually 5 screenshots. SamHB (talk) 19:48, 9 January 2016 (EST)

Sorry for the delay, but they are online now. They are in with a few others here The direct links are [1] [2] [3] [4] and [5]. Also, maybe we have enough, but here is one from Adobe.

Also, thanks for the suggestion regarding my username on the screenshot, but in this case, I don't really care. That system is airgapped (not connected to the internet), and I use random usernames anyway. In general, though, that is good advice--thanks for noticing and mentioning it!--DavidB4 (talk) 17:42, 11 January 2016 (EST)

Sorry, I forgot to request the image upload to CP. I should have, so when you got back on they would be all set...Oh well.--David B (talk) 09:40, 22 January 2016 (EST)
