"You don't have to install it" - I am sick of hearing this. If I made you a sandwich and surrounded it with dog crap and told you "just don't touch the crap" would you be happy about it? Of course not. All this adware does is annoy people who know to avoid it and damage the computers of people who don't know any better. STOP TRYING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF PEOPLE FOR A QUICK BUCK. It is and will always be inexcusable.
I appreciate the hard work done on ImgBurn; it's a fantastic program. Whoever in your group thought that an OpenCandy-loaded installer was a great idea needs to be dismissed. This isn't how software grows, it's how it dies.
