How many times per day does internet explorer crash on you?

I'm not even discussing problems created by ActiveX or Java. The new thing with many 'free' software sites are programs that load into your system if you do not carefully identify the vague click box that disables each download program. These other programs are downloaded automatically.

Even Microsoft is now doing this with some OS addons. They are a little more honest about it by asking if you want to download PowerPoint, Live or Bing extensions. The downloads are automatic if you do not specifically disable them.

Also in Chrome are programs that get loaded as Extensions. These sometimes cause strange delays (appear like a crash). I never did figure out how those extensions are getting loaded into Chrome browsers.
