I am sure this will help open up the door for civil lawsuits. Them being fined is proof they did illegal installs.

If the install was done without the users consent then they could not agree to the bullshit terms and conditions. So if they didn't do that, then there is no defense to them stealing traffic. Their only defense was that the user agreed to it, this has proven that many users did not.

We need an attorny who will do a class action suit against them.

The settlement is just that, a settlement. This wasn't a fine levied by the FTC and this isn't an admission of guilt. Companies often settle with the FTC in order to avoid exactly that, getting a guilty verdict.
