Thanks. I've been wise to these tricks for a while - just didn't know there was a word for them.

I think the answer is "name and shame". The name that first come to mind is McAfee. But Microsoft isn't far behind.

The tricks that the latter uses to discourage installation of Chrome on a new PC are almost hilarious.
