I knew enough to uncheck “Safari” when ASU offered it, but I agree that offering it disguised as an update to something already installed when it isn’t is bad practice.

I can uncheck “Safari” and so can Tom Krazit. Anyone running Apple Software Update could. However, passing off a full app install through a utility designated for updating installed apps is duplicitous.

I think the argument can be made that the Safari box should be unchecked by default. They’re counting on people not really paying attention to the text (that’s a whole different discussion) and just clicking through until the install starts.
I seem to remember Sun doing something similar with a Java update and Open Office but that quickly went away. Now all you see is a quick ‘advertisement’ for open office while the Java updates install.
