Given most Android phone and definitely bMS Windows regularly have third party bundled software I fail to see the difference here.
While there is malware distributed outside of Google Play, unless you can point to an actually malicious thing this software did, I have give it a pass.
Remember, the world has already decided that nonconsensual updates, ads, tracking, etc is normal if bundled with the OS and therefore not malware.
