Thanks for reporting this.
I have managed to repeat the problem, but only the once.
I rolled back Irfanview a version and then opened CCleaner and ran Health Check to test it.
It found the updated Irfanview version and showed "1 apps to update".
I clicked 'Security' and it did still give me the tickbox option not to update, which I unticked.
However, <strong>going back to the Overview 'Security' was still showing "1 apps to update"</strong> despite the tickbox being unticked.
Back into 'Security' - no updates were showing.
Back to Overview and 'Security' was still showing "1 apps to update".
Clicking 'Make it Better' <u>did</u> update Irfanview to the latest version.
So on that occasion unticking the box obviously hadn't worked correctly.
It seems to have done only half of the job it should have, what most would consider the unimportant half.
Could I ask/ check if that is also what you saw?
It's not <em>quite </em>what you describe in your post, but I may just have gone into more detail.
Next:
I then rolled back the Irfanview version again, opened CCleaner, and ran Health Check again, again I unticked the checkbox for the update.
This time when I went back to Overview it had correctly been removed from 'Security' which was showing "0 apps to update".
Clicking 'Make it Better' <u>did NOT</u> update Irfanview to the latest version.
Every time that I have tried since Health Check is behaving as it should and not updating if the app has been unticked.
So it looks like an intermittent, or even one-off, bug in v6.07. (Bugs like that can be a PITA to track down).
I've reported it to the staff to be investigated and fixed.
PS. There are another couple of ways that you can prevent the automatic software updating in Health Check Pro.
-
Go offline before running Health Check. If it's offline then it can't check for or fetch any software updates.
-
Always use Custom Clean not Health Check.
