This leads to a better and more confident software installation experience. With the new warning tooltips feature, the user can find out whether the button leads to an installation of a potentially unwanted program without clicking on it and taking a risk. That means that in order to know whether Unchecky considers a button to be flagged, the user had to click on it, which is usually a bad idea. In earlier versions of Unchecky, the user got a warning upon clicking a button which causes an installation of a potentially unwanted program. Batya Steinherz: How are the new tool tips designed to help users? Michael Maltsev: The warning tooltips feature was introduced in version 0.4, about a year ago, but now in this new version, it’s turned on by default. With time, most of the major issues were resolved, and Unchecky was tested with many more installers – by us, as well as by the huge amount of Unchecky users.Īlso, many programs were added to Unchecky’s database with time, so now it can handle many more available installers than it could in the early versions.Īll in all, Unchecky is now a mature and thoroughly tested product, which can help avoid unwanted software while saving time and frustration. Many programs and installers weren’t tested with it, so we told users to consider Unchecky to be an experimental product. Batya Steinherz: What’s the significance of the program no longer being in beta? Michael Maltsev: The fact that Unchecky is no longer a beta product means that we consider it to be mature enough for everyday use.ĭuring the development of Unchecky, especially in early versions, there were several known issues and limitations. It turns out that Michael was more than happy to give us an insider peek into what’s happening with Unchecky and how things have and have not changed since he joined our team. Now that Unchecky’s developer Michael Maltsev is around the Reason Software office every now and then, we figured we would torture him with an interview to find out how things have changed since Unchecky and Reason Software joined forces. It also has some new features and some old features have been enhanced to make it even more effective. This newest version of Unchecky is the first version that is no longer in beta and is also significant as this is the first major release since joining up with Reason Software. Here at Reason Software, we are excited to announce the release of Unchecky v1.0.
