    < [support from badware suppliers].ToLessTrouble().ToMoney()

Emne: Re: [dba-Tech] Bundled Adware in IE?

Yeah, I know.  Yesterday, I fixed computer stuff for my sister and my
sister-in-law.  Had I been charging, I'd have made about $500.  But, I
don't charge family. And, besides, my sister gives me the benefit of her
medical training without charge, so we're good.

I still wonder why the makers of a legitimate product, like IE or FF or
Chrome would bundle in aggressive adware.  They have to know that will
seriously interfere with their clients' ability to use the legitimate
software.  I just don't get that part.
