This is so aggravating! Especially on my locked down corporate laptop. Logitech startup process was able to install itself without my approval, but requires admin privileges to uninstall. So, now it’s just there, forever. Hardware industry has an impeccable security record, so I’m sure it is fine.

- hutzlibu 3y agoSorry for cynism, but in my opinion, the main problem is still, that most people understand allmost nothing about computers, except following procedure x to get it roughly do, what they want. And this is usually problematic enough, so they have 0 bandwith for all the shit that is going on underneath. They cannot understand, what is necessary behavior and what is abusive. That would be probably our job, to raise awareness. But it's exhausting and the result is bloat, crap and spyware as default. Understanding users would never consent to this. But the majority simply doesn't and I get pragmatic and find solutions, that work for me. Like WindowsDebloat and Linux. And avoiding touching normal peoples computers, unless with the permission to clean up a bit before using. Not much else one can do.
