Google Continues Evil Behavior
August 20th, 2009I have previously written about Google’s evil behavior. It appears Google is trudging on down the dark path of doing anything it can to infest your computer.
Tonight I needed to update my Divx codec. So naturally I downloaded the Divx installer and began installing. In the middle of installing Divx, what do I catch trying to sneak on to my machine after having removed all Google apps from it?
You dirty rat Google. You dirty sneaky software. And shame on you as well Divx for allowing this.
Sneaky bundled crap-ware is one of my biggest pet-peeves with computer software and I shit list anyone who tries it, and Google’s Chrome just made the shit list for trying to sneak on to my system. This is especially annoying because if you install Chrome, you also get infected with the GoogleUpdate.exe malware, which keeps constant contact with Google’s servers and is very hard to kill with out removing ALL Google software first.
Oh Google, you’ve only further re-affirmed my decision to switch to Bing as my main search engine. Thank you.

Did you pay for divx? Its just another way to advertise. You caught it… most people dont. Anything that does a damn good job and has to include stuff to stay afloat is just sad. Remember when Daemon Tools did it, and they warned you on the front page and they felt bad? Its because none of us donated to use the software.
Then again daemon tools is mostly used by pirated software, and if people arent going to pay for software, why would they pay to use software for stuff they havent payed for.

Nah, it is just the free codec I needed. And yeah, I hate that Daemon tools does that shit too.
I have never grasped the concept of people who write software which is primarily used for piracy, then want to charge for it. I’m not saying DT doesn’t have legit uses because it does, but still…
