>LG is facing criticism after users found that connecting certain LG monitors to Windows PCs can automatically install an application that promotes paid McAfee antivirus subscriptions. The LG Monitor App Installer arrives through Windows Update without an approval prompt, and the first visible interaction may be an advertisement. Windows begins the download after identifying the connected display and retrieving LG extension and software component packages. The process then installs the application from the Microsoft Store, where its listed capabilities include internet access and the ability to use all system resources.

I run three 32” LG monitors and after the last automatic Windows update I saw the LG app pop up. I killed it with the whatever you call it manager thing. But the next time the system booted the app popped up again.

Going to permanently kill and block it now.

And fuck LG. They’ve lost my business.

LG has sucked ever since they stopped making CCFL TVs and Plasmas.
