No, thank you

No one will ever make me understand why the combination of owning a computer(s) and it being connected to the internet gives anyone a right to think this means I want to be a target for their advertising. The closest thing to an "excuse" they have is that it is part of an agreement for "free" software. Personally, I would much rather pay for software I require, and if I do decide to take advantage of an application that is free, then I will only choose one that I know contains nothing other than the function it was written for.
I paid for my computer.
I paid for my software.
I pay for my broadband every month.
I do not wish to pay or assist anyone who degrades any of the above.

I think we should charge these adware (mild or not) companies for adwares in our computers. The usage of our system resources/bandwidth should be paid for by them. Why should I give them free data/information? It's only fair.

Because hidden deep within their EULA, you agree to not do that very said thing. Otherwise, I'd have a going rate of $500 a kilobyte for storing their software. :P
