Can anyone verify the process that virus total is flagging as "a variant of Win32/InstallCore.ACL potentially unwanted"
https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/...0084033c91652a790ad7dbec/analysis/1442771955/

Jw I wanted to hear from other users and if there are any noticeable differences after installing this. It worries me a bit and is this compatable with win10? J/W does anyone have any hitmanpro hits with it or any other av flagging it? Other than Eset Nod?
Remove AdWare.Win32.InstallCore (Virus Removal Guide)
I did read this post which flags it as a false positive though I'd like to know what process would flag this within unchecky? Sorry haven't used the software yet and would like some feedback before I install it.

Unchecky - v1.0.1 (August 22, 2016)

Download - https://unchecky.com/files/unchecky_setup.exe

Changelog - Unchecky - Keeps your checkboxes clear

v1.0.1 (August 22, 2016)

[BoraMurdar]

Unchecky aims to keep potentially unwanted programs out of your computer.

Its primary feature is automatic unchecking of unrelated offers, such as potentially unwanted programs, offers to change your homepage or your search engine. With it 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 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. Use it and it’s less likely to accept such offers accidentally.


v1.0.2 (January 29, 2017)

• Added support for Winaero Software.
• Improved support for μTorrent.
• Improved support for CCleaner.
• Improved support for FileZilla.
• Improved support for Comodo Internet Security.
• Improved support for DriverMax.
• Improved support for Auslogics products.
• Fixed web offers handling with high DPI settings.
• Removed several false positive detections.
• Indonesian translation, by Haydar Ali Ismail.
• Updated translations.

Thanks for sharing

I think now more than ever this type of app is useful for mitigating not voluntary potentially unwanted installations.
Yes many people think that you have not downloaded these programs and they have appeared on your computer for no reason, but in reality it depends on the acceptance or not of an option during the installation of a program. In other words, you accept the installation of additional programs with the program you really want to.

Does that mean that Reason Core Security has also been updated?

Does that mean that Reason Core Security has also been updated?

Urm... Why would it mean this?

 

[reboot]

Sorry Wave I should have given more explanation before asking the question... I thought Reason Core Security had bought unchecky and were using it as part of the program.

Glad to know Unchecky is getting better, thanks for sharing!
I've recommended Unchecky to a lot of my family and friends and they've loved it.

 

[Zero Knowledge]

Unchecky is a good utility for click happy people. It's core technology should be incorporated into every security suites.
