It's not that it's scary, it's that it's intrusive. If you want to install stuff on my machine, get my consent first -- even if it's disabled by default. |

I assume from their perspective, they have your consent, as you downloaded their browser install wizard and installed their product, including its widgets. But I agree, they should itemize all their widgets, and not install them by default. Though I am a bit jaded in this area, as most desktop software seems to come with widgets that install by default.
