> The offer-enabled installer may display third-party offers during installation. Nothing is installed without your prior consent. In case you have accidentally agreed to an offer, you can completely uninstall it from Windows' Add/Remove Programs dialog.

Except in looking into it further, there was a particular sketchy offer that was being sent called "Search Bundle" that was completely opaque, put what is essentially an APT on the machine, and was not listed in Add/Remove programs.

The other applications (Firefox, Opera, etc) seemed to allow for normal uninstallation, but not that one.
