It's possible, but would you really be surprised if you installed it and later discovered it contained spyware/malware?

I would be surprised if I got something from a well-known, reputable company that turned out to be malware. Something from an Internet rando? Not so much.

I mean if you’re already running windows, you’re probably OK with spyware/malware.
Replace Windows with the words “popular operating system” otherwise you’re not making claims with any good faith.
