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

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.
