Thank you for your post, Jesus.

You called this the exploitation of ignorance, but I ask you now, who's at fault here? Is it the developer who is giving the user an obvious choice on whether or not to support the software or is it the user who is too ignorant (or lazy) to actually read what he's agreeing on?
Taking advantage of ignorant/lazy individuals (or anyone) is called exploitation.

Anyway, there have been quite a few complaints like yours before. As SonicSam pointed out earlier in this thread, the LOP sponsor is being phased out (or has already been phased out, I'm not sure on that) right now, so less and less people should have problems with it.
If this is true, that is splendid news and I will forward it to my colleagues. Could you please provide a reference so I can verify for them?
Edit: I did see SonicSam's post (thanks SonicSam), but I don't see a reference behind it, and the installation I just did on Windows 2000 didn't offer Ask Toolbar.
