There was one other one from some program elsewhere, but I don't recall what it is now. Rules: They should (hopefully!) work! Disallowed are cases where the opt-out is simply ignored. So I invite you to submit your candidates for the worst opt-out methods! This is an abuse variant of a well known psychological concept where after learning to click the "green button" the correct way out of the install of the aware is alternating between two methods, whereas clicking "all the green buttons like you just learned" installs everything! However, the version I got hold of from Cnet had FIVE opt-outs, *alternating* between pre-checked boxes "with this box checked you agree to install an add-on", and then alternating with "by clicking accept you agree to install _" and forcing you to be clever enough to click "Decline!"
I am guessing the original is probably on Sourceforge somewhere.
Specifically it was inspired by the program "Media Player Classic". Specifically, I went looking for a free CD player program. This thread was inspired generally by the growing obfuscation of Opt Out measures in harder and harder to find places.
