Kovid, I tend to agree - and I also wonder if there are two issues - permissions and ownership

I've lost count of the number of people who've contacted me to ask if I could fix their computers, which have 'acquired' bits of very well known security products on their desktops. And almost invariably I've been able to demonstrate that it got there because they clicked on the wrong thing. Its not bogus, it comes from the real vendors - one in the USA, the other in Germany.

You probably get pestered by OpenCandy etc all the time. I recently downloaded something from Sourceforge that came with OpenCandy gifts, the wording in the dialogues was diabolically devious, so its easy to understand how people get caught by this stuff.
