is Apple, Adobe, Sun and REALAUDIO Spreading Malwares ?
Updating software with latest updates is good practice but some vendors using their updates to push some other software’s also. All these companies installation includes some additional downloads and users has to unselsect these default options. So are these additional software are working as "Malware" ?
Apple: Apple Quick time updates pushes Apple’s Safari web browser and iTunes towards your computer. Recently I think they also pushes the Mobileme as their software update.
Adobe : Adobe’s Acrobat Reader default installation includes Google reader.
JAVA: Java default updates are now pushing Puzzle Pirates. Sun has also included their Open office as Java software update. Java Update also includes Yahoo toolbar.
REALAUDIO: The media player’s default installation includes BOTH the Google Toolbar and Google Desktop Search.
