I agree that this is a tactic that preys on the less tech savvy folks, and share your continued astonishment that reputable companies would engage in these drive-by toolbars/extensions that are bundled in installers. YC has invested[0] in a company called InstallMonitizer[1] that appears to help developers and advertisers connect in the pay-per-install marketplace.

I'd like to do some digging around on developer forums and see if any folks have shared their experience and would be able to comment on the amount of extra revenue that they see from such programs. |
