Pissed off.. Google Chrome Frame just installed itself in IE.

[tridim]

I didn't click on anything or install any Google product. Google Frame is a plugin that overlays IE with the Google rendering engine.

Google's pledge is to "Do no evil" and they just installed a fucking virus in my browser without my consent. Grrrr. Because of this action I just unistalled all traces of Google software from my system. I'll miss Google Earth.

Has this happened to anyone else?

1. I installed it intentionally

And as far as I can tell it hasn't done anything for me.

2. The only reason I noticed is because the "Do you want Google to remember your password"..

dialog popped up when I was loggin in to Facebook.

Oh, and it wasn't listed in "manage plugins" either, I had to uninstall it from add/remove in control panel.

is just a little inside joke to our friends in Mountain View.

4. do you have DIVX on your system?

It has been known for a while that DIVX has been doing this...if you had a recent update to DIVX it could have happened then. And that would not be Google's fault, rather DIVX's fault. Perhaps something else went through an upgrade and brought it down?

just a thought...

5. I don't think I've played a DIVX file in over 10 years.

Though it might be installed as part of a general video codec pack. I really doubt that's what did it.

6. well, good luck figuring how it got there

cause that's all i got! i really cannot imagine it would just install on its own...i would think it would have had to come as part of something...

cheers,
