Checked List is the name of a potentially unwanted program offered to users downloading free software whose setup program has been modified. We say “potentially unwanted” when talking about Checked List, because there’s usually a way to stop it from being installed, all it takes is for us to be careful with what we do while installing software found on the net.
For the very first moment Checked List is installed, it will start doing what it was created for: broadcasting huge amounts of ads while also saving information about you and whatever you do online. These ads are directly inserted among the websites you visit, being a main cause for display bugs and ruining their visual look completely.
Besides ruining you browsing experience, Checked List also gives itself permission to spy on your every move online, collecting data about what you search for and about every website you visit. It also takes the liberty of checking what’s inside your computer… according to them with “statistic” purposes only; however the reality is very different, they use all this data to save it into databases they will surely sell afterwards.
Checked List is usually installed along with a free software found in download platforms specialized in this kind of software. They create their own setup and download programs to which they add what they promise are “malware free” tools. Of course they get paid for every successful installation of such tools. As you can see, to install a freeware is usually a synonym of installing an adware. You can avoid this kind of problem by being very aware of what’s happening while you install something new, so you can reject any optional program being offered.
