Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The scenario describes the installation of additional software without permission that tracks computer behavior. This is a common characteristic of spyware, which is often bundled with free downloads. A careful reading of the end user licensing agreement may reveal that the user is agreeing to install this spyware along with the free games. The other options (A, B, and D) are not supported by the scenario and are unlikely to be found in an end user licensing agreement for free games.
