Here’s What Happens When You Install the Top 20 Download.com Apps. Unchecky to the rescue!

Welcome to PC Tech for Hire, Montgomery Alabama's dedicated residential and small business computer repair and service provider.

Unfortunately, my source for this series of blog posts went belly up before I was able to complete the series.  I was hopeful that I would be able to get the final posts from them directly, but no response in weeks.  So...  Let me finish the series but simply saying: Be careful what you install.  And when you do install a program, read everything.  Make sure it is not trying to install something you really do not want.

One program I highly recommend is called Unchecky.  This program will run in the background and when you are installing a program, it will uncheck the boxes for the extra software you do not want.  This also works for updating software.  Java is really bad about wanting to install additional software even for updates.  Unchecky will uncheck the boxes for the unwanted software automatically.  

Be sure to check out my ProActive Care Managed Services. Unchecky is included in the basic ProActive Care service.

Stay tuned!  I have a surprise for next month!
