When installing things like Office, OneNote, or Skype, somewhere in the bowels of the installer there are two buttons. One makes BIng your default search engine. The other makes MSN your homepage. Both are checked by default. This is the tactic that adware uses to get on your PC. It is the sort of thing that makes me lose trust in companies like Microsoft. It targets ignorant people who quickly click through the installer and then wonder what on earth happened to their browser.
