Automatic updating of Hosts file

Anonymous 10 years ago updated by RaMMicHaeL 10 years ago 2
Because it automatically changes the Hosts file, I presumably have to keep the option which prevents external programs changing this in my AV (WebrootSecureAnywhere) permanently unchecked which raises a risk? It would be better if one could be notified of updates, so that this option could be unchecked only when required.

Update: I think all questions were answered. Marking as completed.

Here's how Unchecky works with regards to the hosts file:
  • When the Unchecky service is started, Unchecky adds a block with hosts file rules, marked with special comments.
  • When the service is ended, Unchecky removes that block.
When Unchecky is updated, the new version of the service writes new hosts file rules.

Now for your question: should you disable the hosts file protection of your AV?
Disabling it is not a good idea, as the hosts file can be modified by malicious programs. A better idea is adding the Unchecky service to the AV's white list, so that it won't complain about Unchecky modifying the hosts file. If your AV doesn't provide such feature, you might want to contact your AV author and request it.

Unchecky does not uncheck chrome installation check boxes when installing/updating Avast

Unchecky does not yet uncheck chrome installation check boxes when installing/updating Avast Anti-Virus
Answer

Unfortunately, Unchecky can't handle Avast updates, as when Avast is already installed, the installation is protected by a system driver.

Unfortunately, a new version of Java has a redesigned offer page, which made Unchecky to not recognize one of its checkboxes.

We're sorry for the inconvenience, but unfortunately, there's not much we can do. It's virtually impossible to create a mechanism which detects offers which weren't released yet.


We're working on a new version of Unchecky, which handles the new offer page.


There's a post about the new Java version already, therefore I'm closing this post.

EVGA Precision X install issues

gamewin1 9 years ago updated by Unchecky 9 years ago 1
When I try to install EVGA Precision X, I get issues. First, when I try accepting the TOS, Unchecky says I am accepting an unwanted offer. If i press continue anyway, I can no longer press any buttons in the Precision X installer. If I try disabling the Unchecky service, it hangs and won't disable. I had to use Task Manager to force close the Precision X installer and then after that was done, Unchecky stopped hanging and it finally said the service stopped.

Installer site: http://www.evga.com/precision/ (yeah you got to sign up. it sucks.)

Thanks for the report. Unfortunately, I could not reproduce the issue on my PC. Could you please provide a screenshot, and perhaps upload the exact installation file somewhere?
Also, do you mind telling your country? Sometimes, some offers are displayed only for chosen country IPs.

Hi, how about getting some help from people who are able.

Hi, how about getting some help from people who are able to distinguish scam ware and othr software prechecked? Wrote the program so it provides you with the feedback from users in case of failure to detect and they click it manually.
A voting type of software system could then pick the problem ware....and it could be verified by a huma

As I understand it, you're suggesting something similar to WOT for installers.
While this might be a good idea, this is currently out of scope for Unchecky.
