    This is because as soon as a monitor is connected to a Windows computer, it automatically installs both the LG Monitor App Installer and McAfee Scam Detector without ever asking the user for permission.

    Is this not a felony under U.S. law? Computer hacking has HUGE criminal liability.

      It probably says somewhere in the ToS, which is still a fucking disgrace that those exists, without having to make clear and obvious bullet points you click “consent”.

      Even having to make consent multiple times should be mandatory for every shit they try to do.

      Solution if users shouldnt hit consent multiple times? Dont do shady shit.
