DOWNLOADED VIRUS FROM IMGBURN

[monekythirtyfive]

This is despicable. I downloaded ImgBurn right from this site and now my PC has a virus. It won't even boot.

 

YES, it came from this site. NO, it DID NOT come from anywhere else.

 

I understand you have been denying this for a while on this forum alone. How about being honest about it? You wanted to make more money so you put people's machines at risk.

What did you install?

 

I'm as honest about things as I can be. I have no idea what you're talking about and I very much doubt OpenCandy would be offering you something that stops your machine from booting... how would that help anyone?!

I downloaded Imgburn from this website and did the "express install." 

[LIGHTNING UK!]

ImgBurn doesn't have any such option.

 

If you'd read the page properly, I'm sure you'd have seen it was offering you a 3rd party program (that's what the OpenCandy platform does) and you picked to do an 'express install' of that 3rd party app.

[monekythirtyfive]

Out of curiosity then, why does your software offer 3rd party programs with viruses?

[LIGHTNING UK!]

I doubt anything opencandy offers you is actually a virus, that would be bad for business and opencandy comes from a legit company.

 

Some AV software may flag certain things, but AV software tries to catch so much more than 'real' viruses these days.

 

Whilst browser toolbars etc can be annoying to some people, they aren't what I'd class as real virus. They'd be things that allow people to remotely hack into your machine, capture passwords, card details and basically everything you're typing to gain access to accounts etc.

 

Maybe I'm just a bit old school like that.

 

A 'potentially unwanted program' that's 'optional' (meaning you're in control of it being installed) isn't something that phases me. Opt out if you don't want it... Job done.
