They are not trojans per se...the user installs them in the form of BHO's and toolbars (at least they would if they read the Eula's well enough) It's a bit different. Yes, they use deceptive techniques to get the user to install, and yes they should be dropped in the middle of a desert with no water, but some of them actually don't want their products tied to overly deceptive practices...it's bad advertising.
That's basically what it is IMO: one big giant deceptive technique. Reading the EULA is important when installing any kind program also IMO. However, there's a difference between the user installing it (actually) and the user being decieved into installing it.
Hey, I've heard of a guy that installed sub7 for a server. :confused:Quote:

Hrmm, that's possible and could be done. But isn't the client infected with the server and some type of virus? Heh..
