thanks for the virus/spyware! :(

Hi,

I downloaded Imgburn from the first link "Digital Digest" , and it's a spyware thing instead called marketing manager or something.

I'll have to clean and reinstall Windows. Thanks for that!

Just to be sure, I downloaded again and installed, since it's already polluted. Thanks again!

you're giving the blame because you downloaded something from somewhere else?,

why didn't you download it from imgburn.com ?

there's no spyware/virus  from https://imgburn.com/index.php?act=download mirror 7

As I stated in the first post, I selected the first link from imgburn.com (mirror 1).

I still do not see any direct download link from imgburn.com.

Why would you particularly mention mirror 7?

Mirror 7 is the repository that ImgBurn.com itself hosts.  "Provided by ImgBurn"

I see. I wonder why it isn't first.

Still, If I were hosting software online, which i am!, and/or providing external links to download my software, which I am not, I'd feel responsible to vet external links,

and still it doesn't appear checked or removed.
