This is really bad, this reminds me of the Skype easy bits go crapware incident.
A desktop icon for plus world should obviously be an option, you should never add shortcuts to stuff without the user's consent.
Plus Service should be optional an I personally like I guess most users will prefer plus to only check for updates when it is running, there is no need for a service that wastes system resources.
I downgraded to 5.01 (This sort of BS is why I keep old installers around

)
Yuna/kimahri should really get their act together, this is going further downhill with each new version released.
EDIT: I uninstalled 5.02 without choosing to delete settings or scripts and such, and then after a reboot that it requested, installed 5.01.
When I do /checkupdates, it reports no new version, can it be the updater stores the version in the registry separetly and still thinks I have 5.02?
I just hope that when a new version is released (hopefully) with this BS fixed, it will notify me.
Personally this really warrants a quick release that fixes only this.
