Sheesh, I installed a program yesterday (mp3 to WAV convertor) and found after installing it that it was FULL of spyware bundled in with the original program...

Lucky I have tonnes of spyware programs to get rid of it... Let's just say I never get much spyware on my PC. It's loaded

So when this happened I was pretty annoyed.

It added about 6 start up programs, 10 other spyware programs and came up with a lot of detections when I ran ad-aware and spybot!!!

Anyone else experianced much like this?
