OpenCandy protest

Recommended Posts

I'm going to add my voice to the chorus of people unhappy with the inclusion of OpenCandy in the ImgBurn installer.  There is no clear opt-out (I cancelled the installation at the "Recommended by ImgBurn" page), and the "recommended" software is of dubious origin and possibly malevolent.  This is dishonest and disreputable behaviour from Lightning UK.

It's hardly rocket science.

 

If the offer page you're looking at doesn't have simple 'Yes, I want it' / 'No, I don't want it' type options, it'll have 'Express' / 'Custom' ones.

 

Click 'Custom' and the opt-out option is then straight in front of you.

 

I don't have anything to do with the design of these pages but they're nothing out of the ordinary and now the OpenCandy team have made the 'Custom' option look 'normal' again (it looked greyed out/disabled before), I can't really complain about them.
