Just for your information, DriverBoosters auto update simply takes you to their website
when a new version is available. You still need to do the actual update by downloading and installing the new version.
The latest version of Unchecky has also updated it's detection for the Iobit installer. You might want to install that program.
The only option I had was checking/unchecking the unwanted system cleanup software the update also included. There was no update installer to scan all I saw was the option to "Finish" which suggests to me that whatever update there was had already been installed (along with Open Candy). After I clicked there was no significant HDD activity either.
Point is Open Candy was, so it seems, integrated with the update but NOT optional, so would Unchecky have helped avoid it?
I've not made any mistakes or had any problem with manual unchecking ever. I'm very careful when installing updates or anything else. But what can you do when stuff you definitely don't want is apparently hidden like this in otherwise useful software?
