Question

Installing unwanted software without the knowledge of the user

Answer 1

Answer:

Unwanted Software Policy

At Google, we believe that if we focus on the user, all else will follow. In our Software Principles, we provide general recommendations for software that delivers a great user experience. The policy below expands upon those general recommendations by providing a list of basic criteria for user-friendly software on the web. Software that violates these principles is potentially harmful to the user experience, and we will take steps to protect users from it.

We’ve found that most unwanted software displays one or more of the same basic characteristics:

It is deceptive, promising a value proposition that it does not meet.

It tries to trick users into installing it or it piggybacks on the installation of another program.

It doesn’t tell the user about all of its principal and significant functions.

It affects the user’s system in unexpected ways.

It is difficult to remove.

It collects or transmits private information without the user’s knowledge.

It is bundled with other software and its presence is not disclosed.

In contrast, we believe that software that meets the basic criteria below upholds the spirit of our Software Principles and provides a good user experience. We’ll continue to refine the policy as we see new use cases, and we welcome your feedback and suggestions in our help forum.
