sometimes when you download other things ie photos, music, movies, and others they automatically come with either internet explorer's latest version or google earth / google chrome or norton virus protection, foxfire or other unwanted programs.

you can stop sites from automatically downloading these things and other unwanted programs by reading the fine print and unchecking the box that allows them to download things, *before* you click the agree button.

then only those items that are still checked will be downloaded when you click the word - agree.

Thanks for this!
