jeff h Posted May 19, 2020 Posted May 19, 2020 I tried to download and install IMGBURN off Major Geeks but my AV detects it as malware. https://www.majorgeeks.com/mg/get/imgburn,1.html Would you be so kind to share a safer link to t he download? Thank you.
dbminter Posted May 19, 2020 Posted May 19, 2020 The safest place is here: http://imgburn.com/index.php?act=download and the safest Mirror is Mirror 7. There's no guarantee your AV won't complain about it. What AV is detecting is not "malware" but PUP, potentially unwanted program. The installer used to have OpenCandy in it, which would phone home to a server and offer the user other software they may want to download. However, some people get click happy and don't read what they're agreeing to. AV software is generally lazy and it's easier to label something as malware than to label it what it is.
LIGHTNING UK! Posted May 20, 2020 Posted May 20, 2020 Just don't pick the 'MajorGeeks Installer Version'. Going by the name, I assume that one gets you a repackaged version that uses MajorGeeks own installer. The (original) one I gave them was 100% clean.
jeff h Posted May 20, 2020 Author Posted May 20, 2020 Hi dminter, Thank you. Off topic, - every time I try to sign in here I type din my email address and my password but it displays wrong pw so I have to request a new pw and then type in my old pw as my new pw and type it in again as confirmation and then it emails me the verification and I click OK. I have to do this every time, When one signs in is it not your email address and pw? Or is it one's username? How can this be corrected? Thank you.
dbminter Posted May 20, 2020 Posted May 20, 2020 Well, it's been a long time since I've "logged in" as I have remember options and use my web browser's auto fill functions, but if my memory is correct, you sign in with your user name on this forum.
