LG monitors automatically installed an app through Windows Update that pushed unwanted McAfee adware pop-ups, though LG has since agreed to disable these ads following an intervention by Microsoft.
What Happened:
Silent Installation: When users plugged certain LG UltraGear monitors into a Windows PC, Windows Update silently downloaded the LG Monitor App Installer without asking for explicit permission.
Adware Pop-Ups: The installed app generated frequent pop-up notifications at boot, advertising McAfee software and other utilities
Microsoft Intervention: After reports by hardware reviewers like Gamers Nexus, Microsoft executive Pavan Davuluri contacted LG, prompting the company to disable the McAfee promotional pop-ups.
