Can't install: all ImgBurn downloads infected with malware.

Every download of every mirror here of ImgBurn is infected with the OpenCandy malware, and my virus checker (rightfully) blocks installation. Is there an install.exe file which is not infected?

 

I tried to send the maker of the ImgBurn an email directly, but this is impossible as the instructions on the page for emailing say that I must install the software to find email. I can't install it, due to the fact that the install is malware.

OpenCandy is just an advertising platform/plugin for setup programs. It offers you 3rd party programs as part of the normal installation process and you may not want them. Programs that detect it usually just flag is as a 'PUP' (potentially unwanted program). OpenCandy is not an 'infection'.

 

You're free to opt out of anything it offers that you aren't interested in or run the setup via any of the methods mentioned on their FAQ page so as to avoid the offers completely.
