Just downloaded the latest version of the flash/shockwave player for the work PC and I've copped all this other garbage from Yahoo!

When clicking on a link, the menu now has these added Yahoo! "features". I know that Yahoo! (how annoying are the bloody exclamation marks!) have conceded the search war to Google and proclaimed their intentions to branch out, but is this it? Is Yahoo! the new spam / backdoor bastards for Windows?

P.S: I know that going into Add/Remove Programs will let me get rid of it, but for f@cks sake! Can a man have no peace?

Yeah, I'm sick off apps bundling crap like that in the background. Not obscure apps either. Nero did it to me. Nero has gotten way too bloated.
