Re: Microsoft may be Firefox's worst vulnerability

[John Jones <chianime@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm curious, though, if the .NET installer terms of service/EULA mentions

installation.  If not, i.e. if the user has not somehow (even in ignorance)
consented to the installation of a Firefox addon, the installer should be
considered malware.
