Same policy here. Some of that stuff (like Audiogalaxy) sounds interesting but I can well live without it. The truth is that if a company installs spyware to finance their operations I don't trust them even if they claim that you can opt out the spyware during installation or remove it afterwards. Like the recent VX2/Audiogalaxy incident shows the spyware-financed companies themselves don't always know (or at least they claim not to know) what extra software is being bundled to their programs, not to talk about what these nice little extras actually do in your computer. No thanks.
