Is imgburn.com Safe?

ImgBurn - бесплатная программа для записи CD, DVD и Blu-Ray поддерживающая много различных типов образов дисков. Программа позволяет записывать и считывать образы дисков, а также отдельно создавать образы, не записывая их, или же работать в режиме записи файлов и папок. Также есть режим проверки диска.

The ImgBurn app itself is okay, but the installer comes bundled with malware and viruses. If you do install ImgBurn, MAKE SURE TO UNCHECK EVERYTHING!!! ONLY install ImgBurn. Don't install all the other junk they recommend; it is only malware and junkware that can do harmful things to your PC and your privacy. While I do trust ImgBurn itself, it is a little controversial to bundle malware with your installer. There are some people who just click next-next-next-next-install without reading a single thing. That would be bad.

After downloading the installation file from two mirrors, imgburn.com and majorgeeks.com, I got the same result when I checked it with Malware Bytes Anti-Malware and Webroot Secure Anywhere. I even attempted to install it and follow tubededentifrice's suggestion to disable the problem files on installation. Webroot wouldn't let me get that far. If turned red with warnings that I should close files, disconnect USB devices, then proceed with eliminating the threat. I did that. IMO no site is a good site if it routinely plants this type of malware.

Imgburn is a great software made to make burning .iso files easier, BUT, the newer update includes opencandy, which will give you suggestions for random adware/malware during the installation. Some have said that they couldn't opt out of the malware/adware installation, whether those claims are true or not, is yet to be seen. Examine the installer with EXTREME caution... oh, and fuck opencandy. I'm only doing this one time. Any other software with opencandy, I will never risk my precious PC for!

Beim Download von ImgBurn springt meine AV-Security an und meldet den Fund des Virus OpenCandy. Da die part-Datei des Downloads schon vor ihrer Fertigstellung geblockt wird, kann ich mit ImgBurn nichts anfangen und muß mich nach einer Alternative umsehen. Ich weiß, das es viel Arbeit ist, so ein Program zu entwickeln und zu pflegen, aber wenn meine AV-Security meckert, ist bei mir Schluß mit lustig.

I have downloaded it, and carefully avoided accepting any add-ons, tool bars, or anythings that was not officially part of the imgburg I have enjoyed for years. But, they installed adware anyway. DECEPTIVE. So what else could they be doing that I don't know about? The previous version installed, without asking permission, other .dlls, extensions to Google Chrome, Firefox, and IE. It took me 2-3 days to remove. I had hoped that after a year, they would have thought to remove their spamware. Not so. I will NEVER load anything they create again. Just Crap :-(

Imgburn used to be great, and I suppose still is, IF you can avoid their lowly and deceptive big green download buttons that their try way too hard to make look like is THE download. I realize that folks that provide free software still has to pay server bills, but do they really have to sink so low as to have to trick people into installing harmful crap? I'd hate to see Imgburn go, I'd hate to see any good free software go, but... maybe it's time, maybe they've forgotten what they once were.

Download asks if you want to install Trustworthy toolbar. When you say no it does so regardless. This installation from ***** messes with the settings of all your browsers and installs malware on you C: drive. It took me all evening to remove this junk.
