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!

You should only be angry at yourself, as nothing was installed without your permission. But I know it can sometimes be difficult to find all the settings. Google Apps is a way to deploy Google services among many employees. If you saw this installing, you made your mistake before this point.
