Why do some installers for legitimate, well known pieces of software have unwanted applications bundled in them?

265 viewsOtherTechnology

When I download some installers and run them I notice it offerring me to install other things like Opera. I don’t understand why they feel the need to do this. Why? Are they endorsed by the people who made them?

They have a licensing deal with the bundled software and they get a percentage of everyone that signs up.
