Since no permission equals no admission, the tool turns to slyness. It employs trickery and finesse, when it comes to inquiring your approval. Yes, it does ask if you agree to allow it in. Only, it does it in the most covert way possibly. For example, it poses as a bogus update, or lurks behind corrupted links. It can turn to spam emails, and freeware as a way in.
