The virus part of this thread title is the installation of unrelated bloatware, aka spyware.
There are now zero laws which I am aware of regarding the stealing of proprietary data from users.
Everything (company data, medical info, tax info, etc) on a person's computer is fair game at this point. Open book.

Even after removing of unwanted software by the 'owner' these are automatically re-installed by the Operating System.
There shouldn't have to be two-tier system of 'hackers' vs 'average joes'. That should be assumed. As in "always opt out".

The non tech savvy consumer shouldn't have to fight their own product for control.
