   I just realized Microsoft is smarter than I.   
   Think about it.  I am simply too stupid to decide what software to install   
   on my PC.  Things like the Ask.com toolbar.  Despite unchecking that little   
   box, Microsoft was kind enough to override my decision and install the   
   Ask.com toolbar anyway.   
   Thank you Microsoft!   
   Thank you Ask!   
   Thank you Acro Software (makers of CutePDF)!   
   Grisoft?  Here's a big virtual hug for you too.  Maybe I should just let   
   Microsoft run my entire machine?   
      
   As proof of my severe lack of intelligence I am posting screenshots.   
   Here is the installation of CutePDF, as you can see the Ask.com checkbox is   
   unchecked.

   Here is IE after the install.

   Isn't that great?  Because Ask.com is so awesome it has to be installed   
   without users' consent.
