When security software gets bundled in the wrong way

 

After installing Adobe Shockwave Player from here I am presented with this offer.

I don’t want to use Norton, so I unselect the checkbox.

I actually read the text, well, most of it – the part which is visible, as you can see below.

shockwave-norton

By clicking on the only button visible, I agree with the Norton License and I receive the software from Symantec.

So, where the hack is the Cancel button?

I unselected the checkbox and pressed Alt-F4 and apparently I didn’t get any Symantec software on my computer.

I thought that such practices can by found only at Ask.com and alike…

But, definitely there is money in stake here, so who cares about user experience?

Right? 😉

I am sure that Symantec didn’t see this 😉

Erm.. I am hoping that they didn’t see it.
