If, and ONLY if, you are a complete and total idiot, you'll tell them 
that you want such garbage installed on your system. On the other hand, 
if you've got two working brain cells to rub together and spark a 
thought, you'll tell them to roll their worse-than-useless, 
feel-good-do-nothing-useful crapware into a tight little ball and shove 
it where the air quality is highly questionable and the sun doesn't 
shine. With a pitchfork. Sideways.

Short form: Not just "no", but "*HELL NO!*"
