Abstract
A method for identifying bundled software and an apparatus therefor. The method comprises: detecting a user interface for software installation; acquiring text information on the user interface; determining whether bundled software exists; and, based upon the determination, extracting the name and amount of bundled software from the text information and prompting the name and the amount of the bundled software. The embodiments may identify bundled software before installing software and avoid starting the bundled software process, having the effect of anti-bundling on the bundled software in advance. By extracting the name of the bundled software, acquiring the amount of bundled software, and prompting the name and amount of the bundled software, a user is able to determine whether to install the bundled software according to his or her requirements, thereby improving the autonomous right of selection of the user in the process of installing software.
