• A Microsoft executive has confirmed that LG has agreed to disable McAfee pop-ups on their monitor app.
• This comes after it emerged that LG was automatically installing bloatware when you connected its monitors to your PC.
• This doesn’t solve the problem of bloat being installed on your PC without your consent, though.
