HOW the HECK did random apps of iTop apps get installed in my Laptop?!

[Moonlight_Bunn]

So uh-  yup. These random apps, which was one screen recorder, screen shot thing and a VPN. And that too without my consent. I just restarted my computer and there it is, a random ass app, in my laptop which I didn't even wish to download. Idk how the heck this happened, and I'm concerned how they do this. Please I'm scared ; - ;

They are doing an opt-out campaign with the Itop programs. If you don't see the box to uncheck it will install these programs. You can always uninstall them. I think that any software not associated with what you are installing should always be opt-in. That way you know what you are getting and not surprised about what you got when you did not want it.

yes they are doing opt out but that silly iTop software installed before you can even uncheck the box to opt out, even launched and pinned itself to my taskbar. Malicious point blank.

I get the nagging offer to install the iTop Screen Recorder EVERY DAY! How do I get rid of this nag?
