You can find a reason to blacklist every company and then you can't buy anything.

There’s a difference between being nit picky and blacklisting a company for being openly hostile to their customers. Will I ever create a new Facebook account? No. Will I ever open a Wells Fargo account after their habit of making faking ones? Nope.

Writing off a company for adding root kits to their machines out of the box seems to be perfectly reasonable.

Do you use Aspirin?

Do you acetylsalicylic acid or a specific manufacturer's product?

Regardless, a lot of people would say no to either, acetomenephen and ibuprofen have largely replaced Asprin for most uses.

I've never had aspirin to my knowledge. I wonder how it's possible it's been gone for decades and it's still somehow a known product name.

Yes, most companies do something bad, sometimes and I'm all for forgive-and-forget if the error is understandable and they take steps to correct it. But doing something so way-out egregious as installing a rootkit on customer's machines speaks to a company culture that makes me extremely reluctant to do business with them again.
