At startup VirtualBox checks for updates and presents a dialog with the link to download the updated version. The dialog box hangs and a forced shutdown is necessary to exit VirtualBox. So far this is the only false positive I've run into and I've thrown a LOT at Unchecky in a VM and it has nailed everything including installers that slip the crapware in behind your back.
Is it possible to add exclusions for know safe installers and updaters? Temporarily suspending the service does allow the option to update.
Unrelated, but is there a way to donate to the project?
Thank you for the feedback.
I tried to reproduce the issue, but I cannot get it to hang. Screenshot below.
The version I tried is: Version 5.0.12 r104815.
Which version are you using?
Sorry, but we don't speak your language.
The question is old, so it's probably not relevant anymore.
If it is, please leave a comment. Thanks.
For some reason, after "Proceed"ing, I was unable to use my mouse to click on or interact with anything on its GUI -- only the keyboard worked.
I tried re-running, but Unchecky may have whitelisted the file(?), and it did not warn me again.
Here a my translation suggestions:
EN = Don't display the notification area icon
DE = Das Symbol im Infobereich nicht anzeigen
EN = Activity log
DE = Aktivitätsprotokoll
EN = Below is the activity log of Unchecky. You can see what installers it encountered, how many offers were declined, and how many warning were shown.
DE = Unterhalb befindet sich das Aktivitätsprotokoll von Unchecky. Du kannst sehen welche Installationsroutinen angetroffen wurden, wie viele Angebote abgelehnt und wie viele Warnungen angezeigt wurden.
EN = Date and Time | Installer Name | Offers Declined | Warnings Displayed
DE = Datum und Uhrzeit | Installationsroutinen-Name | Abgelehnte Angebote | Angezeigte Warnungen
EN = Did Unchecky help you to avoid potentially unwanted programs? Tell about it to your friends and family. Share Now!
DE = Hat dir Unchecky dabei geholfen, potenziell ungewollte Software zu vermeiden? Erzähle es deinen Freunden und deiner Famile. Teile es ihnen jetzt mit!
EN = Email client
DE = Email Anwendung
I hope the translations are all correctly.
Greetings from Germany :)
Отличная тула, но проблема в том, что много навязливого софта устанавливается с помошью новых инсталяторов с новыми елементами управления...
Программа Unchecky справляется со многими установщиками, у которых нестандартные типы галочек.
Если есть специфический установщик с которым Unchecky не справляется, дайте нам знать. Спасибо!
