My hosts file before installing Unchecky, just grabbed this now at 9:33AM EST. Softpedia also considers Unchecky to be clean and non-malicious. So I just installed Unchecky (after disabling Hosts file protection in Avira) to see what exactly it does. In the thread /u/slowc posted, it was claimed that it changed the hosts file of a computer, presumably in a negative way. That said if there was actually an issue with Unchecky, surely someone here would have reverse engineered or decompiled it to see if it's acting as Malware.

I don't see it as something needed in Tron. As much as I like Unchecky, and I do suggest it for customers that have been badly infect and have tons of toolbars etc.
