NB the vast majority of articles I have come across say the same thing
(that it's installed without explicit notification or permission).

It's also been reported if a user purchases a computer with this already
installed (e.g. a brand-new fully-updated Vista system could potentially
have KB951847), and *subsequently* installs firefox, the extension turns up
in FF immediately.
