    Interesting idea, wonder how reliable it is though :) . Some installs are fairly tricky, one stage you must tick "Yes" to not install some junk then the next click "No" to not install some more. Of course it isn't designed like that to be misleading at all I'm sure :D

    Yeah, most of these software installs you inadvertently agree to. I moved to linux ages ago, I don't have any crap like this, all my software comes from reliable sources
