Problem with adware installs, is that the third party e.g. P2pads who distribute can never know for sure there's no affiliate code hacking, or other malicious code. Sure you can do a bit of testing, but there's always ways the coder can coneal these things. Basically, you have to take the vendors words on it.

Some people can take the principled position and just say "no, there's plenty of business, installs are something I can AFFORD to stay away from" or you can look at the big $$ the installer will offer.
