Unchecky v0.3
Introducing Unchecky v0.3!
The new version of Unchecky provides you with more visual feedback:
- A tray icon is visible as long as the Unchecky service is running.
- When an offer is rejected, a notification message is shown (see screenshot below).
Also, Unchecky v0.3 has an activity log, which was the most requested feature on UserEcho. You can see which installers were handled by Unchecky, how many offers were rejected, and how many warnings were displayed:
As you can see from the above screenshot, there are also social network buttons, which allow you to tell your friends and family about Unchecky. Please use them! We have great plans about Unchecky, and we need your help to spread the word.
Is it possible to disable tray icon?
Yes, there’s an option for it.

just noticed that window text..
Instead of spelling Congratulation, you should use Congratulations.
thanks!
Thanks for letting me know! It will be fixed in the next version.
Is there any unchecky_setup option to disable this?
Unchecky v0.3.2beta – While upgrading to Firefox 33.0.0 I received a notice “Congratulations, Unchecky has just prevented the installation of a potentially unwanted program” but it doesn’t say what in particular was blocked. Is there any more info available?
Unfortunately, not. Typically, it’s about a checkbox or a radio button. If you would make a screenshot, I could perhaps guess what was done. Possibly Unchecky changed from “recommended installation” to “custom installation”.
I suspect you are correct. I get the same behaviour with Unchecky v0.3.3beta and FF33.0.1

Yes, Unchecky chooses the “custom” installation type. This is by design. You can read the reply to a similar report here:

In general, while Firefox doesn’t provide any PUPs, Unchecky doesn’t have a way to check this. When having the choice of a “standard” and a “custom” installation, Unchecky always chooses the custom type to be able to fully control all the installer’s options.
Reporting a detection issue: Free File Sync has binkiland bundled, and it doesnt detect the unchecks!
Thanks. The correct place for reporting these kinds of issues is the UserEcho tracker: http://unchecky.userecho.com/
