I might post unchecky if I can figure out if it is free for me to do so.
It
has a license agreement that is longer than the deed to my house,
marriage

If you think I am exaggerating folks take a look at it for yourselves.

Well, you're correct. I located the check box for installing Google
Chrome
on the Install page of the downloader by using the JAWS cursor. But
clicking on this check box with the left mouse button gives no
indication of
whether the box is checked or unchecked, so if you are not careful,you
may
wind up re-checking this box by accident . In any case, I installed
Unchecky so that this check box will automatically be unchecked the next
time I update CCleaner. Perhaps this useful little utility should be
added
to the JAWS Users programs page, which,by the way, now has a warning
accompanying the CCleaner download link to be careful about
inadvertently
installing unwanted programs.

Hi Gerald,
Normally you'll find the Google / Google Chrome checkboxes while
you're on the Install button. When you're on the Install button,
route the Jaws cursor to the PC cursor, press the page-up key to go to
the top of the page, & arrow down 1 line at a time. You'll need to
uncheck the checkboxes with Numpad slach or left mouse button. Also
there is a little program called Unchecky that will stop this as well.
Info is below:
From: Carlos
Anyone who is concerned about unintentionally installing promotional
software may be interested in trying Unchecky.
http://unchecky.com/
It runs in the background as a service and monitors for recognized
installers. It then automatically unchecks any checkboxes related to
installing toolbars, browsers, and similar unwanted products. I have
not thoroughly tested the program and it is not guaranteed to catch
everything, but there have already been several updates since the
initial release so I'm sure it's detection rate will improve.
I've used this program for quite awhile now & it works great!
HTH
Take care.
Mike

That's the problem. I could not find any check box for installing
Google Chrome anywhere on the downloader interface, and I checked each
page carefully with the JAWS cursor. I wound up removing it using
Revo Uninstaller. If anyone else can find the elusive check box for
installing Chrome, please let me knoe how to locate it so that I do
not get screwed over again the next time I install a new version of
CCleaner.

Gerald,
Unfortunately that's quite normal with 'modern' software installers.
It's either Ask or Chrome or a few similar bun unnecessary, but you
have the option to uncheck the install box during setup, IF of course
you can find it.
So now you can use C Cleaner to un install chrome.

I just downloaded the latest version of CCleaner, version 5.0.2,

surprise. In addition to installing CCleaner, Google Chrome was
also installed, much to my chagrin. Using the JAWS cursor to
examine the installation options in the user interface, I did not
come across any check box or other means of preventing Google Chrome
from being installed along with CCleaner. I do not remember having
this problem in the past, so it looks like Puriform is now forcing
Chrome down your throat whether you want it or not. Chrome is still
not especially JAWS accessible, and removing it is a real pain.
Therefore, I suggest that a warning be added to the CCleaner
download link that downloading and installing CCleaner will also
result in the installation of Google Chrome, which is nothing but
unwanted crapware for most JAWS users.
