Apple's Boarderline Malware

I recently got this message during a routine update. I usually get Apple Updates even though I am a Windows user, since I use both iTunes and Quicktime on my computer. I never have used or installed Safari on my computer though, and Apple is sending me updates for it? Safari is Apples internet browser software, it comes standard on all Mac computers. Anyone who reads this blog knows that I use Firefox and always have.

So why does it annoy me so much that Apple is sending me updates for software I don't use? Sending someone something that they did not request is spam. Apple is sending my computer software that I never asked to receive. That's malware, and that's not good. If I had done what most people do and just trusted the update and clicked install, I would have gotten a new piece of software on my computer that I never wanted. This idea of sending people software is the same way that viruses spread and is looked down upon. Why would a company like Apple, with such a great public image do something so low as to force their software onto unsuspecting people?

This is my second time seeing Apple try to send me Safari through a update. Has anyone else seen this update or some variation of it? If so leave your experience in the comments.
