Norton Internet Security (NIS) warns me of the Imgburn installation file

[Hans L]

Hello:

 

I know that this is not a new issue, but why is NIS warning me about the installation file of Imgburn probably containing a Trojan? Why has Imgburn not done something to alleviate the situation? Is it childish obstinate behavior or ...?

 

Why is Imgburn suspected of harboring malware?

 

And, finally, is the installation file safe?

 

Best,

The real setup file makes use of a plugin called OpenCandy. Some AV software will flag it as a potentially unwanted program.

 

If you don't have the real setup program (check the md5), you might have one that really does contain a Trojan. I don't know what you've downloaded.
