> One can't expect that every driver package submission from every vendor is thoroughly vetted every time, this is a matter of trust and respect.

Maybe not, but LG has violated this trust and should therefore be either fined or severely restricted by Microsoft. Banning will likely cause more problems than solutions, but they shouldn't get away with this.

Adware was a huge problem during the Windows XP era, can't believe it's coming back now through Microsoft's official channels.

Also I doubt there's actually millions of hardware vendors. But that aside, Microsoft has a duty to vet everything that they offer through their channels. If it's too expensive for them to do, do like Apple did and have those that want to make use of their distribution network (and trust) pay them.
