I am doing some research, apparently this is only for the online JRE install, and it's been there since 2011.

Sun JRE install once peddled OpenOffice and Google Toolbar, but at least OO is better than Ask. Ugh.

They need to get rid of this, it's an embarrassment.

I got a McAfee something or other offer bundled with the installer. I don't know why Sun and Oracle did this, it gives the installer the look of shady shareware shit.

Yeah, I clicked okay on McAfee Installation, and he showed up 45 minutes later, with a teenage hooker and a ton of drugs.

He had good booze, but otherwise, sort of an asswipe.

Sent the girl home with a police matron.
