Spent no less than 20 minutes this morning uninstalling what I can only describe as ransomware pretending to be a trackpad driver.

I'm glad I don't use apple hardware on a regular basis, and even more glad I don't have any windows machines in my personal life.

If you find yourself needing windows drivers for an old Macbook pro trackpad, I highly recommend avoiding trackpad++ which is a scam disguised as a device driver that attempts to disable your system when you uninstall it.

There's a decent open source driver called mac-precision-touchpad. If you search "uninstall trackpad++" it will be the first result. That's telling right?
