Burt if they outright did that, what are the odds you’ll say YES? They cannot take the risk, so they turn to trickery. Instead of the straightforward approach, they turn to deceitful tactics. They hide behind freeware, spam emails, corrupted links. Or, even, pretend to be a system or program update. It’s up to you to prevent them from invading your PC! Every time, you install anything off the web, be extra thorough. Take the time to do your due diligence. Know what you agree to, look for the fine print, and double-check everything.
