Deploying Software without addware?

(imported topic written by JRigas)

Hey everyone,

I was wondering if when you’re deploying software to your network, like for example Adobe Reader or Java, the annoying addware (toolbars, av-programs,…) are also automatically installed.

Or is there a way to make sure it doesn’t get installed?

Sorry if this has been asked before, I couldn’t find it with the search.

Thanks in advance.
