Oh, I don't care about bloatware either, because I too don't install it. It's that something got pushed through what I believe is Windows Update without me installing anything. It was a one-time thing only, I think, but I hate how Microsoft doesn't crack down hard on stuff like this, so companies abuse it.

Well, MSoft did nothing then and now we got LG and Acer taking advantage and doing the whole McAfee ad thing, which did bother MSoft enough to do something (maybe because they're the ones that want to decide which ads appear on their OS and get paid for it, not others).

Yeah. I guess at least some limits, which is good, but it's ridiculous that we even need to be discussing this - it should be obvious updated can't contain anything that can be interpreted to be an ad.
