I believe you just proved the point opposite from that which you were trying to. 

No, I think you misunderstood. I have the adware installed and I'm not crying about it. Unlike most adware, this is EASY to get rid of if you decide that you no longer want it on your system. It has an option that, if I may say so, is quite CLEAR about what you are doing. If you do not pay attention that is your own problem as you still willingly clicked to install it. As for doing it by accident/not paying attention, the option to install the sponsor is not selected by default. So unless you just randomly click parts of the screen during the installation process, I don't see how this is possible. My point was not what you seem to have construde it to be. Therfore, I have not proven myself wrong.

TBH, there are worse examples of adware that I can think of. Is it right that these popups get shown presenting themselves as Anti-Virus software etc. When people can prevent serious threats like this, then they can start to crack down on software that generates a few popups.

EDIT: Grammar :p
