Download Warning of Malicious Code

[ChrisJBrady]

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.

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.

So what's warning you about something 48 other AV products aren't seeing?!

 

Oh and obviously ImgBurn doesn't contain any malicious code.
