ChrisJBrady Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 (edited) I just tried downloading the latest version of ImgBurn from the (supposedly official) download page at: http://www.imgburn.com/index.php?act=download I clicked on the GREEN 'Download Now' icon, the one with the BLUE downward arrow on the left hand side. This was the file: http://downloads.smarttweak.us/smc/33242/imgburn_smc_installer.exe As soon as the download had completed I got a warning that this was a file with embedded Malicious Code and to delete it immediately - which I did. I then decided not to upgrade ImgBurn and will now never do so. I simply cannot trust you. ImgBurn itself might have embedded malicious code too. It is quite unacceptable to have such code - apparently malicious - so freely and easily downloadable from the official site.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 You clicked on an advert that downloaded SmartTweak's 'Speed Up My Computer' program. I just ran the file through VirusTotal... it came with a 0/48 detection rate - i.e. *nothing* flagged it. https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/01783b290781431a51e658fe2619bb714b534a12916de02a967719cf565b4480/analysis/1380024580/ So what's warning you about something 48 other AV products aren't seeing?! Oh and obviously ImgBurn doesn't contain any malicious code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
