| 1379731 | 2014-07-22 08:26:00 | Wow. I'm constantly amazed that people put up with this sort of ****. And it is only getting worse. How can you trust your own PC? How can you entrust your data to a device that you have no idea who is controlling? |

| 1379732 | 2014-07-22 22:43:00 | That Ask installer is pretty bad. Pretty septic. Replaces the IE home page & the IE search engine. It totally confuses some elderly users , who dont know why IE has changed from what they expect the home page to be (Google or whatever) NOT what should be bundled with security updates . |

| 1379733 | 2014-07-23 01:13:00 | Just updated java from the Control Panel and didn't get any mention of Ask, installed ok and home page is the same. | Whenu (9358) | ||
| 1379734 | 2014-07-23 01:39:00 | I did an update this morning and didn't see it either - they may have removed it. | wratterus (105) | ||
| 1379735 | 2014-07-23 01:50:00 | I uninstalled Java last year, and have only come across one website that required it so far - one of those Youtube downloader sites. I thought I'd see a lot more that insisted on it. | Renegade (16270) | ||
| 1379736 | 2014-07-23 01:53:00 | It's not websites that use it that annoy me (as you say, they are pretty non-existent nowadays), but rather desktop programs. | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 1379737 | 2014-07-23 05:46:00 | It was on the java update I did at the weekend but I knew it was there so didn't let it install the ask bar | gary67 (56) | ||
