Abstract:
Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture for alerting the presence of bundled software during an installation are disclosed. An example method includes identifying installation of a software product. The software product is scanned to identify first information, the first information to include information extracted from a file associated with the software product that is indicative of a main application to be installed as part of the software product. Information displayed to a user during the installation of the software product is scanned to identify second information. Whether a bundled application is included in the software product is identified based on the first information, the second information, and the signature file.
