Agreed every time I have Itunes update I have to turn off the Itunes
software that interfaces with MP3 players. No option to not turn
them off, I have to go into MSconfig and turn them off.
Almost as bad as realplayer.

No, for both those examples I *want* updates to install with virtually

updater which gets in your face and installs unwanted software by
default.
It's fantasy to believe every average computer user should (or could)
read and understand every time these damn things come up - which is
often. Go ahead and include your suggestions in your updater if you
want, but don't ever have them selected by default.
