One of our PC's just installed "Silverlight" while the modem was OFF.
Yesterday I had uninstalled it,
the PC ran fine without it.
The PC was on, but in sleep mode.
I heard the MS bell indicating a boot.
And the PC had been rebooted.
And Silverlight re-installed?
MicroSofts indexer could not find it. Surprise...
And its not in Program files where it should be.
The old file is still there but empty.
Bill your trespassing, I want your crap off my PC.
Not only is your OS not secure its criminal.
Left over registrar sigs.
Of course if I can't find the file I can't uninstall it.
Seems MicroSoft doesn't know who owns my PC.
Isn't this criminal behavior?
I encourage everyone to uninstall silverlight.

Its my PC and I don't want damn Silverlight on it I know what it does.
Bill Gates is forcing Silverlight on its users.
Didn't they try that with their browsers for a while.
Federal Trade Commission should look into this.
FTC doesn't have a twitter account, might have known.Gerald
