Re: Apple using iTunes update to auto-install Safari

It's not like it's installing anything without the user taking an action. It's right out in the open. Yes, it's checked. Yes, I unchecked it when I updated iTunes.

Is it great, not really. Is it wrong, no. Is it sneaky, no.

It also isn't the iTunes updater but the Apple Software updater. It actually runs at startup as part of a standard iTunes install.
