If you update CCleaner after you install Unchecky, please let us know
whether it prevented the automatic and unwanted installation of Google
Chrome at the same time.

Mike,
Thank you very much for this tid bit I am going to try it because it seems
like google chrome is all over the place trying to force themselves on us I
am sure it is good but just not accessible for those of us that use accessed
technology. Have a great day and don't fall off your bar stool grin.

Hi Gerald,
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've been
using this little gem for over a year & it hasn't let Google Chrome install
yet, when updating CCleaner!
Take care.
Mike

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Another Warning About Installing CCleaner
Here we go again. I just installed the latest version of CCleaner, version
5.9 using the link on the JAWS Users programs page, and inspected each page
of the installation dialog very carefully with the JAWS cursor to locate any
surreptitious check boxes for also installing Google Chrome. I could not
find any, so I went ahead and completed the installation of CCleaner. But
to my great chagrin, Google Chrome was also installed, anyway, and set as my
default browser. Just out of curiosity, I took a quick look at Chrome and
found it to be just as inaccessible with JAWS 15 as it has always been. So
I had to use Revo Uninstaller to remove it and then reset IE 11 as my
default browser. Has anyone found a foolproof way to prevent Google Chrome
from being installed along with CCleaner? Thanks.
Gerald
