Why don't every vendor with an installed app make a similar banner?
It would be so festive, and I bet people would love it, to have 20 or 30 such occurrences every time you need to use your computer during holidays.
It would of course be optimal if each has an animation and a tune, that need to finish before you can escape.
Weird that only Asus had this brilliant idea? It's so awesome when you are not in control of what happens on your computer.

If you want to take back control, Linux is your best option.
Oooh, make one of them a little purple animated gorilla, I'd like that too.

An unsolicited Christmas card through a letterbox would have at least been less worrying.
How was this even approved for deployment?
