Now I am mad. At Google. Yesterday, I downloaded Google Screensaver from Google..
But first, Google wanted to install the 'Google updater' to facilitate the download. This is not unusual, as a downloading program can help reduce overhead on their servers, so I agreed. Then the fun starts! The updater checked my system, and then proceeded to install a slew of applications (without my permission) which included Google Earth, Google Toolbar for Internet Explorer, Google Docs, Google Apps (Whatever that is), and since I have a fast computer, it did it all in less than half a minute. It would have installed Chrome, but I already had it. This is my work computer... I don't want all this crap in my machine! Last night, when my wife was trying to print her operative notes from that days surgery, we noticed the printer queue was damaged, so I rebooted. This morning, again, the printer queue is dead... documents appear in the queue, the disappear into the bit bucket, but no hard copy, no errors. This time a reboot did not fix it. What has Google done to my machine! Now I must spend several hours of my work day trying to fix it! Any suggestions would be appreciated. This note is a warning to everyone... deny the Google updater when it asks permission! ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
