Unchecky is a simple, free Windows utility that helps you avoid installing potentially dangerous and unwanted programs on your computer (for example, various toolbars, adware, spyware, and other software), which are often found in distributions of many applications.

Software developers quite often build in installation packages, as a rule, free software products additional, third-party software, usually of an advertising nature (this is a kind of payment for "free"). In the vast majority of cases, this is a third-party software, and it does not pose any serious danger; browsers, toolbars, various utilities, and so on, but it also happens that, along with a particular program, various spyware and other potentially dangerous software that can really pose a threat to the computer or the user's confidential data get onto users' computers.

To prevent in the future the installation of unnecessary and other applications that we get in the "appendage" when installing the programs we need for a PC, a utility like Unchecky will help a lot.

Unchecky protects the user by automatically unchecking the checkboxes next to the default options for installing additional software and components in most popular program installers (for example). Unchecky warns about unwanted installations, and minimizes the risk that some unwanted software will appear on your computer; new browser, antivirus, plugin, etc.

The Unchecky program interface is in Russian, there is a possibility of updating in automatic mode.

Unchecky is a utility that prevents unwanted installation of various toolbars, additional panels, Adware modules and other software that clogs up your PC.

In automatic mode, Unchecky rejects additional software and advertising panels unrelated to the installed utility, at the same time reducing the likelihood of potential missing those "checkmarks" and, reducing the number of mouse clicks for the convenience of the user.

How often do users uncheck subtle suggestions when installing software that go with the installer? After all, few people pay attention to the text in the software installer. In fact, inattentive installation of programs is fraught with a spontaneous change of the browser's home page, the appearance of toolbars, advertising modules and, in general, "clogging" the operating system.

• Free software for use on Windows systems.
• With each new update, Unchecky expands its database with information about the most common applications that can secretly install additional software.
• Installation takes place on the system drive, but you can change the installation path.
• The developer and official representative of the RaMMicHaeL software, is engaged in support and updates to this day.
• Frequently asked questions at, you can contact technical support at.

Especially for careless users, the Unchecky program has been created, which completely protects the PC from unwanted, intrusive applications... Downloading and using Unchecky is quite simple, it has a free license, a small installer size and a fast, intuitive interface. Distributions of such useless (sometimes even harmful) software are often disguised as a natural installation procedure.

It is also worth noting that the Yandex browser on Windows has a built-in mechanism for checking downloaded EXE files for potentially dangerous software, including those that are secretly installed.

The Unchecky program "knows" about all conspiracy tricks and notifies the user in advance about accidental acceptance of all useless services, which protects against unintentional actions. If such "excellent" add-ons as Daemon Tools Toolbar, [email protected], Ask Toolbar, as well as Yandex.Bar are constantly registered in your system, then do not hesitate and follow the link to download Unchecky and use the utility for free, it will protect the OS from these (and similar) applications.

Hello everyone, today we have a unique program Unchecky. Why is this program unique? Well, look, you put a program, then another one, and don't look very closely at all the checkboxes during installation. And then you are surprised that left-handed programs appeared on your computer, which are still malicious. This is all because you did not uncheck the boxes during installation, which are responsible for installing additional junk!

So, Unchecky itself scans the installer interface during installation and unchecks the boxes itself. It is because of these checkmarks that garbage programs appear in your system, a bunch of processes in the dispatcher, incomprehensible program icons in the tray, and a bunch of other things. And the services? And there can be many incomprehensible services too. Even ad extensions are shoved into browsers. In short, the computer will eventually look like a dump of programs. And the most dibious thing is that some programs over time can download others.

Here is the main window of the program:

It says that the service is running and all that.

Here is the settings window, there are no special ones here, just a checkmark about the icon and some other, like this, so as not to show warning notifications:

Advanced settings:

Here is the program sitting in the tray and waiting, as it were, to remove a stupid tick from the installer:

Now is the time to check how it all works, what kind of program is in use. Suddenly it is she only pontuyutsya so. So, what will I install, I'll think about it now. For example, I will install the Download Master program, I downloaded it from the official site, the whole installation is standard. I pressed Next a couple of times and saw a window where they suggest installing some kind of trash from Yandex, and here the checkboxes have already been removed:

But here's a little bit. Jackdaws are removed. Unchecky reported this with a message in the tray:

The work was done perfectly. Gorgeous unchecked and I didn't have to work, respect and respect to the program

And again there was a message in the tray:

Guys, this is a really cool program and again respect and respect.

For interest, I tried to install QIP 2012 (this is a program for communication), and here the checkboxes were also automatically unchecked and by the way they are also from Yandex:

Well, brilliant, no words, everything works clearly and without a hint of glitches, uvazhuha che

Well, the last program I will check is uTorrent. So I install it and there is also a checkmark for installing the left software, and here Unchecky also worked clearly:

As you can see, all programs are trying to inject you with some kind of nonsense, I honestly did not know that they all offer this nonsense, I just took three popular programs and that's it. The world is so cruel today

Here are the conclusions I think you can draw:

• cool and free program Unchecky does not load your computer, does not consume a lot of RAM, and its benefits are simply incredible;
• if you have installed Unchecky for yourself, then you should know that now adware will almost never appear on your computer;
• you do not need to think about which checkbox you need to uncheck, instead of you, Unchecky will think about this now;
• glitches and jambs in the work of the Unchecky program were not noticed, so this is a suitable program, it works perfectly;

In the main window of the program, you can see how many checkmarks have been removed:

There is also an Activity Log, if you click it, you will see a window with a list of software, where the stupid checkmarks were removed:

So I do not recommend uninstalling Unchecky in any way. But in life anything can happen, maybe you have a working computer or you very rarely install programs, then you may not need Unchecky. Well, then it is better to demolish it, of course.

To uninstall, click Start and then select Control Panel (if you have Windows 10, then hold Win + X there and this item will be in the menu):

Now we are looking for the Programs and Features icon:

In the list you need to find Unchecky (I have version v0.4.3) and right-click, and then select Delete:

Then we put a checkmark so that the settings are also deleted, well, click Delete:

The program will uninstall instantly:

That's it, now you have removed Unchecky, I hope you won't regret it later

Good afternoon friends. Unchecky is a special software designed to prevent the installation of various malicious programs - viruses on your PC. Or just software you don't need.

I think that each of you at least once in your life has come across the fact that after installing the next software, along with this software, a number of programs are installed on your computer that you frankly do not need.

At best, at worst, these programs will try to take control of the computer. That is, they will begin to engage in outright sabotage. For example, such programs often disable the restore points of your system so that you cannot restore the system and put everything back in place.

Among other things, such pests often disable the Task Manager so that you cannot suspend the work of many programs that they have already started. An inscription appears: - "The manager has been disabled by the administrator". What other administrator? In other words, you have contracted an outright virus.

But more often it happens that in such cases, a number of programs are simply installed that you do not need. For example, icons from VKontakte, Odnoklassniki, Mail, and others appear on the desktop.

Most interestingly, through uninstaller programs like Revo, this newly installed software is not always displayed. If you can see it, then by all means remove it. If it is not visible, enter the Control Panel, then "Remove Programs" and remove all programs installed on the given day.

I wrote a lot about this, and even wrote two FREE books "" and "". Therefore, we will not dwell on this. I can only remind you - always follow the checkboxes in the program installation panel.

When installing any program, select not the "Recommended Installation" item (may be the default), but "Custom Installation" (for advanced users). During custom installation you will install exactly those program components that you need, without unnecessary software, often malicious.

Also, when you download software from torrent sites, keep track of what is being downloaded. If you see the inscription "Silent installation" while downloading the software, cancel this download and download the same program from another resource. Silent installation is installation right during the download of the program from the torrent site.

Now many developers of programs, games and other software want to get more money for their creations. It is correct on the one hand, because this is our life. They just act differently. Some people immediately release paid versions. Others create trial versions or with limited functions for the user to buy later full version... Still others release free products, but with their own "gadgets". This is exactly the latter that will be discussed in this article.

Let's understand a little what is the matter here.
When releasing free products (programs / games / toolbars, etc.), developers very often "stick" their advertisements in them. Seemingly ordinary good program, but then a banner appears from above, then on the left a window comes out with an advertisement. It strains a little ...
And there are those who do not place such advertisements directly in their program, but during installation you run the risk of clicking "not there" or ticking "not there". In general, the developers hide these unwanted programs when installing, which sometimes even advanced user will not figure out where he clicked the wrong place for the advertising product to appear.
As a result, after that you have some kind of additional advertising software (program or toolbar or changed), which in principle you do not need.

Common situation? Many people just click on Further (Next) when installing programs and do not even think what is written there. But this is exactly what the developers are counting on. On the one hand, you can understand them, because they already do free programs and they are trying to somehow get rich, but on the other hand, it is very unpleasant when such advertising products are installed even if you uncheck the box or hide somewhere in the installation settings.

In general, I will not torment you anymore and I want to present one interesting program called Unchecky

The principle of this program is such that after its installation, it will be in as a service and will not interfere until you start installing some program. If, as a result of the installation, you forget or do not notice that you did not remove the "tick" or clicked the wrong one, and some other (advertising) program wants to be installed along with the one you need, the utility will display a warning:

This should at least alert you, because you did not tick the boxes, did you?

In any case, the program makes it possible to decide whether you need to install additional program or refuse.

Thus, with the help of this program, you can warn yourself once and for all against installing unwanted (third-party, adware) programs when installing the desired one.
