A reliable application that successfully protects your computer against third-party components bundled with various software installers
If you are in the habit of testing and installing applications on a regular basis, you probably know by now that one of the most common methods used by developers to try and generate revenue is to integrate various kinds of offers within their installers.
At this point, it is totally up to you to pay attention and to decline whatever offers you do not want, lest you end up with a new toolbar within your browsers or a changed search engine. Or you can use Unchecky, which can automate declining of offers for you.
This application installs without any issues and you can get it up and running within seconds - even though it does not actually feature a traditional user interface, it runs in the background without requiring too much RAM or CPU, or slowing down the PC.
Due to Unchecky, the next time you attempt to install a software utility that bundles third-party components within its installer, all its options will be expanded so you can view all the changes it offers, and they will also be unchecked.
If you accidentally click one of the checkboxes, Unchecky promptly displays a warning message asking for confirmation that you indeed want to install such a component. This behavior can be of great help when it comes to apps that make modifications to your PC without asking for your permission in the first place.
All in all, while it might not seem like it is protecting your PC since it is not displayed in the taskbar or the system tray, Unchecky can actually ensure that you do not end up slowing down your computer with unsolicited browsers or various apps you did not intend to install.

Using Unchecky
The small application did not provide any customization option, but we did not see the need for configuring it to work. The option it gave on the main window was the ability to temporarily suspend its background service. It normally runs constantly in RAM to provide real time monitoring of any installation.
We tested Unchecky by installing software we knew installed several 'offers' without even prompting users to add or skip them. It automatically unchecked unrelated offers, which was a great help in skipping even the offers we spotted easily, as we did not have to click each to unmark their checkboxes. It also eliminated the chances of missing an offer we did not want to install.
In addition to keeping unrelated offers unchecked, the program warned us whenever we accepted to install an offer we probably did not want. The warnings helped us avoid installing unwanted applications by mistake.
This is useful considering that not all installers provide checkboxes for offers. For example, some installers only provide the buttons to accept and install or decline. In such instances, declining does not cancel the installation of the main product but only skips installation of the offer. When we clicked the 'accept and install' button, Unchecky immediately displayed a pop-up window warning us that we were about to install a potentially unwanted program.
Conclusion
Unchecky is a handy utility for skipping the installation of unrelated programs that installers usually include. Although the application constantly runs in the background in RAM, it is so small and requires little system resources that you will not notice any change in performance.
