How to Remove Uncheckit

Uncheckit

What Is Uncheckit?

Uncheckit is pretty similar to Unchecky both in name and functionality: it removes checkmarks from checkboxes when you install something, preventing junkware from getting installed along with the program you wanted. However, unlike Unchecky, Uncheckit is ad-supported, so its users have to see advertisements by Uncheckit in web-browsers if they use the program. The ads can be pretty annoying, especially video ones that you cannot close right away. If you try uninstalling Uncheckit, you may encounter difficulties, as the program is always running in the background (and you can’t uninstall a running program). This step-by-step guide describes how to rid of Uncheckit despite that. READ MORE
