Unchecky is a completely free program. During the installation of other programs, unwanted software may be installed under the guise of their programs; Unchecky will block their installation, warn the user that potentially dangerous software may be installed, and reduce the risks of accidental installation.
There should be no difficulties during installation; the setup is standard and simple, no reboot is required after installation, and Unchecky uses few computer resources for its work, does not affect computer performance, and works in stealth mode.
When installing necessary programs on your computer, it’s hard not to encounter various additional offers included in the installer by unscrupulous companies; often, additional programs and various viral applications – potentially dangerous ones that are not only unnecessary for the user but sometimes harmful – get installed.
During installation, the user, without thinking, out of carelessness, selects the default values, the standard installation, and then along with the desired software, those very obscure and dangerous advertising applications, toolbars – potentially unwanted software – get installed. Essentially, the user himself agreed to their installation.
And then, once everything is installed, it becomes clear that there’s a different browser on the computer, its homepage is changed, the operating system is unstable, and a lot of time and effort will be spent to uninstall this software and clean the system of various junk.
For a long time, users had to be careful when installing applications and try to avoid this. Now, a Russian development has come to the rescue, helping to get rid of this. Unchecky is an application that will prevent unwanted programs from appearing on the user’s computer; it completely blocks their appearance, warns about their possible installation, and stops the promotion of dishonest Internet companies.
After installation, Unchecky starts monitoring the computer in real time. It automatically blocks potentially dangerous, malicious, and advertising software, toolbars that could be installed along with the program the user wants. It will notify the user of any attempts to install them.
The application has fully automatic updates; if a new version is available on the manufacturer’s website, it will update, the user does not have to worry about losing functionality and does not need to check that the version is up to date. It modifies the system Hosts file to protect against potentially dangerous and unwanted applications distributed from major malicious sources.
Unchecky is a program that will save you from user carelessness; unwanted applications, potentially dangerous and malicious software, toolbars will not sneak onto the computer unnoticed, it will prevent system clutter, and most importantly – it’s absolutely free.
