I'm wondering, why companies who use products like this, and pay-per-installation packages don't just have a "uncheck" for add-on toolbar/adware components. This is the case with Alcohol 52% (a CD emulator) that I used on on Windows.

IMO Non-optional installation of adware/toolbars etc. crosses the line towards "evil" malware.

I'm pretty sure it is also illegal to distribute software in such a fashion in the EU
