| I think a generic name would work. No more spyware/adware/maleware
Call everything autoloading software.
To NOT BE classified as autoloading it would have to meet the following
1. Program must be downloaded from the net or run off CD. No activeX installs java installs etc.
2. Program install must specifically be run by user. Either the download or off the CD.
3. On installer can only install 1 program.
4. Installer must specifically inform user of what it is installing.
I am sure you could come up with better rules but you get the idea. With this type of setup should leave the spyware/adware companies much room |

1 edit | Don't forget, installer must install an UNINSTALLER that removes everything about the program, including reg entries, misc bitmaps, dlls and folders associated with it and resets to previous entries.
It should do this cleanly WITHOUT popping up a browser to ask if you are REAAAALLLLLLYYYY sure.

I recently had to clean another machine, and this one uninstaller made me fill out some kind of form as to why I was removing it. At the bottom was a freeform text window. I entered "F*** you" there. Immature, I know, but then so are the people who design this crap. |
