| Crapware? If a user knowingly chooses to download a program that can disable, uninstall, or delete any shopping or discount software that might, in the software maker's opinion, nullify the software maker's function, then I must regrettably admit the user deserves whatever problems they encounter when the vendor exercises such unrestricted options.
When the sole restriction is whether the software maker opines - without obligation to provide substantiation - that the applications are in their way, it generates an unacceptable situation for me.
Supporters have the right to tout the product. After all it's reasonable to conclude they may receive money from the vendor and could tend to feel quite strongly about keeping the product around so they can continue to collect.
I personally consider any application vendor that chooses to use security holes and insists on unrestricted authority to install, delete or remove programs at will as untrustworthy. I will treat them as such and will not knowingly support them with my purchase dollars, even if I have to pay more for product. Business and system integrity mean more to me than discounts.
