RE: "Sponsor" installed, virus dropped during auto update
They always see the sponsor screen, but many wont read it or even look at it (as we all know) and they all just click yes (bad EULA-habit), hence they all say they didn't had a warning/choice... They expect to have a screen with 1 sentence and 2 choices, or to get listbox/checkbox thingie like you see in many installations where you have to choose your components, or they expect a popup/msgbox....

If they knew how the sponsoragreement looked liked (read: "how it looked", not "that there is one"), then there will be far less complaints about "(auto)-update installed the sponsor behind my back"....
