autoinstall

Program installs itself

Autoinstall refers to software that installs itself automatically, without requiring user intervention beyond initiation.

The term covers both legitimate features—programs that configure themselves upon download—and unwanted behavior, where software installs silently alongside other applications: I didn't realize the browser toolbar was an autoinstall.

As a verb, to autoinstall is to install in this manner.
