Re: AOL fixing Microsoft default settings

I believe this has resulted in a few lawsuits from companies such as Gator, 
which take offense to their "adware" being removed by the ISP...  Of 
course, 99% of the time it's installed via a "click-wrap" EULA for some 3rd 
party software such as Kazaa.  It would be just as easy to uninstall it via 
another EULA for the ISP's custom dialup/PPPoE/PPPoATM/whatever client.  :-)
