Good thing, checked my add-ons and I had the extension on there without my knowledge. There's another dirty move from Microsoft.

If it was automatic updates that installed that, then I shouldn't have it because I'm sick of Windows automatically rebooting on its own after installing updates if I'm not using the computer.  If they somehow installed it anyway (can't check atm) it'll be the first thing I try to remove.

Mmm, just as I thought, its waiting to install :P.

btw, my other computer had the newer version of the extension (1.1)   and it allows the uninstall feature.
