I'm beginning to turn against free stuff. When you download it they download a bunch of stuff you don't want, change your home page, etc. Think maybe I'd rather just pay and skip the hassle. I'm sure a sophisticated techie would know how to avoid all this, but not me.
Pretty simple to avoid actually. If given a choice between an Express Install and Custom, always select Custom. That way you can un-check the extra programs you do not want installed.
Plus, many of these unwanted programs get installed simply because the user does not read the install screens.
Also, stick with the major AV packages, and don't believe what you read on unknown websites about miracle apps to fix or tune your systems. Many of these are marketing scams with false detection of problems, so they can charge you for essentially fixing nothing.
