  1. You are absolutely right. I made an assumption I shouldn't have. I retract that statement. I just fired up utorrent using my cloned backup drive' date=' did the upgrade and made absolutely sure I had nothing checked. It still installed the toolbar on all my browsers. And another interesting thing... When I shut down my browsers, uninstall the utorrent toolbar and fire up the browsers again, the toolbar is still there. So you can't stop it from installing, and it can't be uninstalled. Only disabled from within the browser. [img']http://pat.ssih.com/images/utorrent.gif
  2. You are absolutely right. I made an assumption I shouldn't have. That's an incredibly sleazy move by utorrent, and I'm switching to another client.
  3. It had nothing to do with the crapware. There were checkboxes specific to that. 2-3 of them, and then the standard checkbox about the terms, like all software installations have, that you can't continue past if you don't check them. And yes, that was my English grammar teacher twitching in her grave as I typed that.
  4. I don't know if your smiley emoticons indicate that you're joking. Are you serious about the above statement?
  5. I forget. As I always do, I unchecked everything except the "I accept the terms" box. Maybe I should have read the terms.
  6. When prompted to install the update, I had to uncheck all of the unwanted additional junk they wanted to install. NO, I don't want the utorrent toolbar on my browser. NO, I don't want to make utorrent my home page. Does ANYONE ever want to change their home page? That seems pretty narcissistic on the part of the software developers. And even through I unchecked all of these things, it still added a toolbar to my browser and put utorrent in my quicklaunch area. So I've unchecked auto-updates (which probably won't make a difference), and I'll upgrade once utorrent simply stops working.
