I found out long ago, most of your unwanted spam etc. is installed when you tell a program to install the easy way, instead of checking every option.

Don't do it, you end up with changed settings and third party items .
that is why you should always do a custom install when not using a utility such as ninite. however, you should always check your settings after an update no matter how the install was done. Even Microsoft updates will change some of your settings to benefit them.
