JohnnyBob Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 The opencandy.com website suggests these ways to avoid their crappy software, which are unfortunately bundled with the ImgBurn installer: Beginner: disconnect your internet connection (beware some software needs the internet to complete its install) Intermediate: run the OpenCandy powered installer from the command-line with /NOCANDY Advanced: add a domain block in your firewall for *.opencandy.com However, I never see their offers, perhaps because the relevant domains are blocked in my MVPS HOSTS file. Be careful out there, children. It's a real jungle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbminter Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Even though I don't get click happy when I run any installer, I do admit to disabling my Internet connection in ZoneAlarm before running installers with OpenCandy wrapped, excuse the pun around them. That way, they can't phone home and install something I don't want by accident on my part. Plus, I always take a differential backup image in Macrium Reflect before I run any installer or updater. In case any kind of install does something like that, or just messes up the system in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrianvdh Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Oh my Fuck! Why don't you just read what the installer says, the first time I installed ImgBurn 2.5.8.0 I read what the installer offers and I have never had a problem! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
