Install wizard pre-ticks unrelated plugin installs
The installer comes with other plugins pre-checked for installation, so site owners get unrelated software without choosing it.

What's going wrong
Site owners installing Easy WP SMTP say the setup flow arrives with optional extra plugins already ticked for installation, so they can add unwanted software without noticing. Reviewers feel the author asked for consent in a misleading way and bundled advertising into a mail tool. Because the default choices are opt-out rather than opt-in, people who skim the screens end up with plugins they never wanted and must uninstall them by hand. The opportunity is a clean, transparent installer audit or cleanup tool that lists every bundled install, removes unwanted ones, and reassures owners that no third-party software arrives unasked.
