Unchecky Beta 0.3.7.5 Author: RaMMicHaeL Date: 05/05/2015 07:23 PM Size: 1.09 MB License: Freeware Requires: Win 10 / 8 / 7 / Vista / XP Unchehky’s primary feature is automatic unchecking of unrelated offers, such as potentially unwanted programs, offers to change your homepage or your search engine. With Unchecky, these offers become opt-in instead of opt-out, i.e. they will be installed only if you explicitly choose you want them (you usually don’t). Another important feature of Unchecky is that it warns when you accept a potentially unwanted offer. Installers often provide them as a natural part of the installation, so they can easily be accepted by mistake. With Unchecky, it’s less likely to accidentally accept such offers. Unchecky is not an universal solution, and might not support installers which were not released yet. Thus, it’s worth noting that Unchecky updates automatically, so you don’t have to worry about running the latest version. www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/unchecky_beta.html

It's pandering to the idle a bit, but I guess it will help certain people who are new to computers or never bothered learning anything beyond which button do I press for the internet then
The real sneaky ones don't even ask though and the most common bit of naughtiness is having the 'Try the pro version for 30 days' already ticked which seems to catch a lot of people out.

I have to say I agree mikkh. I can see a use for it in some circumstances, depending upon how well it works. I haven't installed it myself, but may give it a whirl if I need to install anything, probably on my W7 OS. My XP is pretty much complete.
