'Rude' Programs

Some programs are just plain rude. I don't know any other way to describe them.

Did you want that program to startup and run in the background every time you turn your computer on? No? You didn't, but it does and will continue unless you know how to stop it. There it is, running, eating resources and making your computer slow. It would open just fine when you need it without always running. That's just rude!

When you installed a new program did you want it to make your default program for that type of file? No? You didn't, but it did.  Now you have to figure out how to change the default program back to what you want. That's also just plain rude!

When you finally managed to figure out how to stop that program from starting up everytime you start your computer, because it was rude in the first place, now when you run the program it puts itself back in your startup, that is exceptionally rude!

Some rude programs want to install other stuff on your computer. Sometimes the other stuff is spyware, but not always.  If you don't watch out, rude programs will install stuff you don't want.

Some programs are just so 'rude', I won't have them on my computer!

Maybe I should clarify. The programmers are the rude ones!
