Ads are not a problem. Tricking e.g. my mom into installing crapware is. If the default option is "decline", or it makes it *very* explicit that it's a 3rd party tool, that has nothing to do with what you actually wanted, and will not impact your ability to run the thing you actually wanted, fine. But I somehow doubt it, and thus I think it's perfectly appropriate to make a post like this one.

"Tricking e.g. my mom into installing crapware is."

Were back to the whole "dummy proofing" the internet and computers again huh? People should have a little more common knowledge about what the heck they are doing on a computer.

You may have a point. However, though I haven't tried it, based on the screenshots the installation seems fairly clear. No reasonable person who doesn't use Yahoo is going to "Accept" such an obvious Yahoo toolbar installation.

I'm not a Digsby user, but the vehemence of the response seems disproportionate. Concern is reasonable, but the tone should fit the act.
I know this is the Internet, but please moderate your attitude.
