Solve : License Agreement Question?

Answer»

I'm curious about whether or not there is a general "rule of thumb" concerning License Agreements that are posted at the BEGINNING of every software installation. Are these agreements basically overlooked, or is it a nessecity that they be read?

Danny Benderi'd read them, since if it has malware, it SHOULD say it in its EULA, and it has selling ect info, so yeah you should read itYeah, I usually scan the EULA for any dubious info. Eulalyzer CUTS down some of the work...Quote from: helper on May 21, 2007, 06:04:22 PM

And what exactly does this mean?

I don't THINK I've ever read "and if you accept this EULA you will be getting malware".Oh, malware distributors are actually very courteous these days. They always warn you before infecting your system. And if you fill out a three-minute survey, they even tell you how to disinfect!no, it does'nt say "Installing this will give you malware", but it does, generally say what it installs, if it installs other stuff, like myfunweb cards (or whatever it's called) says in its EULA, that it installs CursorMania, (along with alot of other stuff) and if your FAMILIAR with it (CursorMania) you'll know not to install itQuote from: GX1_Man on May 21, 2007, 07:48:35 PM

Don't patronize him, he is correct. If software contains THIRD PARTY add-ons it NEEDS to be mentioned. It tells you the name and the 'service' being offered. It's just very difficult to understand ..
