Can you download Firefox without junk?

Many times when people download software onto their computer they accidentally download software which may contain viruses or other malware or just be more junk to gum up their PC.  The people that place the links on the download page are often tricky about it so you’re never sure what you’re going to get. Here’s my experience with getting junk software while downloading Firefox.

Tonight I was wondering why Firefox wasn’t installed on my laptop so I went to download it. Unfortunately, (as I know better) I Google’d “Firefox” and clicked on the top ad. Dumb idea, I was sent to a pop up to download and wasn’t paying attention.

Here is the ad I clicked on (notice, not the Firefox real page)

 

 

 

 

Then I got this window…which includes JUNK…aka. AVG. I knew something was up here. This is why so many people are getting redirects and what not. You’re installing more software than you asked for. Be leary! I picked custom and then actually stopped the download and install.
