Why are Curses?

[Leo_W]

I'm not sure the correct place to drop this question, so I'll put it here. :)

Why are some files referred to as curses? Some of them sound self-explanatory; some of the files don't sound like something one would wish for. But it that's the case, then presumably one would not download them. I personally would not wish away my privates, nor would wish for myself compulsive behaviors that I wouldn't find enjoyable. But there are things, like a permanent self-image of being a young, virile (or nubile) 18-year-old or carefree pre-adolescent, that I would find quite a boon.

So ... why are they called curses?

The curses are curses because they are built to be exceptionally hard to remove. If it's something you want, this is never an issue for you, but should you change your mind, they are specifically phrased in such a way you'd need to pay to buy the removal file to be rid of the suggestions again.
