Do you ever read the terms and agreements?, When you are installing a program Options

[azn_r4pf4n]

Do you ever read the terms and agreements when installing a program. I don't because I find it too long to read all of it.

[uLoVeMikeRoch]

Hell no.
Unless its something special. Like a certin program.

[KELLYYY]

Nope. I never do. Who would spend their time reading that long stuff?

[ANG33ZY]

I browse through it sometimes

[lovescream]

I skim through it. I see some things over there, and over there. Most programs say almost the same things.

[Eryi]

I just always click 'next' that summary is LONG!!

[silver-rain]

No way, it's too long.

[Yay_Area_Freak_0...]

Neva do. Too Long!

[pAtRiCk_sTar]

NEVER. I'm....way too lazy.

[gelionie]

I never, I don't really think anyone does anyway.

[ryanoman]

I do at times, because if you don't read carefully, they can sometimes sneak in third party items such as spyware.

[Ballpointpencil]

I have before, but not often. :P

exactly.

did you know, one company put something in their EULA that said: "if you are reading this, you have won $1000," and the man who read it sent the letter and he received the prize. the company did this to prove that very few people actually read the EULAs.

[cocoalightning27]

^whoa, that's gonna make me more alert........

I don't anyways...lo.l...

[heyyfrankie]

no but i just don't do anything that i think is bad. =P

[*mona lisa*]

Not really. I may skim a few of them at times.

[emazing]

Nah, it takes way too long, and I don't have much patience for those kind of things.

[neko]

I skim through it..

[WhiteLotus*]

Noo. Most of the time, they program's terms and agreements say the same thing.

[jnukes]

^ lol .. dang .. that was exactly what i was gonna say ..

[ikayto]

Nope, i dont read it because i have better things to do than read a bunch of legal jargon. If it tries to sneak any 3rd party stuff, my sp2 should catch it trying to add something to my registry or what not.

oh well, all that crap is to protect them from idiot no life scammers

[alliegrl_x]

i dont even skim through it at all.
imagine how much time we would hv wasted reading the terms and agreements to every single thing we downloaded

[miss barnes]

i do sometimes. most of the time i skim at lightening speed

[dreamerOi]

hahahaha no. i think every so often.

[*XLilAznGrl592X*]

of course not! lol its like basically u cant steal from it and stuff... i just click next! lol

[Im So Vain]

those are way too long.

[moomoognu]

I hope you honestly didn't mean Windows Service Pack 2 is going to help you out if you get spyware.

If you care about not getting spyware, adware, or anything like that on your computer, try out a better operating system.

Windows is the most unstable OS out there.

[b0st0ngrl]

I feel bad for the guy who has to write the whole thing

[waitwaitwait]

Nobody does.
But the site has to put it there.

[*Azarel*]

I skim the beginning.. and then just click accept.

[Wereismybelt]

no personally i just think it is a waste of time plus its WAY to long

[EddieV]

Only when I'm not in a hurry.

[rAwritsgWeg]

Yes. They were the Half Life 2 Agreements. I was just Bored So I just did it.

[*Zatanna*]

Nice bump.

And I *always* read the T&A. To me, it's like washing an article of clothing without reading the cleaning instructions on the tag. I wouldn't want to put something that shouldn't be put in the dryer, in the dryer. Same thing goes for software. I have to make sure everything is compatible with my current resources. Sure, it could be included in my long list of anal rententive behaviors, I just feel more secure in doing so. Also - sometimes if you just skip to the end while installing, you might override some of the default launch programs, which could get seriously annoying. (For example, I don't want Quicktime to be my default media device, but if I were to just click next -> next-> end -> and so on, while installing I might inadvertently do so).

[*ranniel*]

Aren't they? I don't ever really read it.. sometimes I do.[/font][/size]

[Tribal J_Rome]

yeah








RIGHT

[insanityislaughi...]

I think I've read a whole terms and agreements once in my life. The other times I tell myself to read the whole thing, but then I end up reading half of it and skimming through the rest.

[Jane Doe.]

Uh. I skim through it. I've installed way too many programs that expected me to install x program along with it, and it was in the terms. I think. I don't know, but if I "trust" the site and program, I lightly look through it.

[KissMe2408]

I used too.
But I stopped after a while, I realized it was kinda pointless.
Though, if it's a program that I'm really not sure about then I'll read them.

[IceCream4U]

No, unless I'm bored outta my mind.

I'll read four words, then check, "I accept the Terms and Agreements" and go to the next part.

[notkaylaflores]

I skim through it. I see some things over there, and over there. Most programs say almost the same things.

Yep yep...I did at first, but once you get the just of it, and after downloading so much junk, you come to realize that most of them DO read about the same things...mostly that they arent responsible for what YOU do and stuff like that....they are pretty much protecting thier own asses...which is totally logical.

[marzipan]

no, unless it's some program that i don't have any idea what i'm doing

[flc]

Nope. I think it's pretty much common sense when installing a program, you -should- know what you can and cannot do.
