I was being a bit hyperbolic, but only a bit. I really don't trust someone who is willing to bundle up crap that obviously nobody wants, just to earn a few bucks when someone is tricked into installing it, but I can agree that it's a significant step from that to actually producing malware. Most reports of "no thanks" failing to work are probably due to third-party installers from who-knows-where, but I've seen at least a couple of cases (PSPad and CamStudio IIRC, could be mistaken) where it was attributed to a bug in the official bundle.
