Calm down, now.  Take a deep breath.

OK, now that you have more breath, resume screaming.

I usually joke that I disagree with every word this man has said, but I will defend, 
TO THE DEATH, if necessary, his right to say it.  In this instance, I agree with 
every word both of you (so far) have said.  I am sick and tired of every single 
"update" package; Java, Apple, FireFox, Adobe, you name it; having some 
"adverware" inclusion.  (And that includes Microsoft: I never wanted Silverlight, 
and I definitely do not want that weird new search non-function that I have to 
keep clicking off on every update.)  (And don't get me started on the time Adobe 
managed to slip a photo manager past me, and, even after I uninstalled it, I 
couldn't access my camera anymore.)
