As most PC users have the bad habit of downloading freeware off of the Internet without paying much attention, hackers just cannot skip that opportunity. It’s an incredibly easy task to deselect any suspicious and unknown program that comes in the bundle, and yet, not many people do it. Although it takes time, this is the only way to find out what software is about to be installed on your computer. The fact that bundled software is free doesn’t mean it’s necessarily virus-free too.
