The Next time you update the Java software on your computer, pay attention or you might become a Yahoo user!
Why are we always so powerless, this should be a crime.

Look What I Have Become!
There are many dowload installations that "set you up" and want to change a search provider, add a tool bar, make such and such default etc unless you do something to opt out, if the option box even exists. Every so often I weed Chrome's settings and extensions, sometimes finding something that wormed it's way in and delete it. I presume this Java/Yahoo thing can be corrected the same way. Also, sometimes these unwanted programs install as stand-alones and can be removed with Revo Unstaller or something similar.

I have a small free program which boots with windows called "Unchecky". It sits on the toolbar and monitors installs and if it comes across any sneaky attempts to add possibly unwanted software it pops up a warning and offers you the opportunity to override the blockage. Works great is unobtrusive and virus free. I've been using it for many months and it has saved me often the scourge of unwanted programs or programs which change your settings.

of course, if you just pay attention to what the installer proposes and uncheck what you don't want, you're in the clear.
Yes of course, but occasionally you can get distracted and something can sneak through. Then there are the grandchildren.............

If you install an update for things like Adobe reader or Java etc they atomaticly install an auto update. Go to add and remove programs and remove the auto update. I decided when I need to update and when I do I'm not distracted. I hate when I'm in the middle of something and a popup telling me something needs updating.
