Software Bundling

For some mysterious reason, my copy of IE7 didn't have flash installed. (Probably due to lack of use.) So, I went to the adobe website, and installed it. A quick restart of IE, and it had finished. When IE booted back up however, I noticed a new toolbar below the address bar. The flash installer had installed the Google Toolbar - without even asking me. Just because no one wants the toolbar, why do they have to force it on you?
