Yes, without citation isn't it rather questionable?

Thanks Two-Eyes.

But if you will notice AVG has been on the list with those options since v8.0.

Quote
AVG 8 - AVG Security Toolbar (Yahoo Search bar)

Also as far as Avast is concerned, from what I've seen to date, the Google options are not pre-checked.

what I meant to say is edit that entry to include 9.0.  That's why I said "too".  Maybe it was the order of the words that didn't make it clear :L.

hi.

does this count?: I was installing the latest update for window live messenger, and at the end there was this screen.

It had the first two pre-checked, but I unchecked them before I remembered about this list. (as you can see the continue button is clicked.  Since I have a supercomputer [-.-] it took a while to process the click command so i snagged this shot).

They arn't toolbars or extra installs, just setting up the search provider and homepage.  So maybe it doesn't count, but i still put it here.  Thanks.

Pre-checked?

I believe it was...let me uninstall/reinstall heheh...

EDIT:

Niether yes or no is checked, meaning the user has to be not so vigilant, and choose one before being allowed to continue.



So guess it doesn't really belong on the list, it still caught me by surprise though.

When I tried to install Adobe Reader 9.3, I had Google Toolbar pre-checked, but no eBay Desktop.

Two-eyes, it should count because it will prevent you from changing the search without going through some stupid process, etc.
