certain apps. We<br>
have not made any agrrements of this kind.</p>
<p>We have heard stories of computer repair / support people who
have told us<br>
that they install AdBlock on people's computers, but we do not
knowingly<br>
bundle it with other software. Are you sure you didn't click on the
"Add to<br>

someone not-you.</p>

<p>What would be their <em>standing</em>? What would be the claimed

<p>You have conflated downloading with installing.</p>

<p>In the UK interweb search: remove browser extensions</p>
<p>and specify which interweb browser you use: IE, opera, firefox,
chromium...</p>
<p>You are <strong>likely</strong> to find numerous videos with
hand-holding instructions. :)</p>
