I just got hit by this and had to spend the last hour cleaning out my system. This kind of underhanded inclusion crap needs to stop. By installing ImgBurn using the standard settings it also included Frostwire (filesharing program), some sort of a browser toolbar, and it hijacked all of my browsers' start screens including taking focus on their search bar rather than leaving the focus on the browser's address bar. Very annoying. Attachments: Got over 100 malware objects detected just on a quick scan (doing a full scan as I type this just to be sure). What's worse is that the author of ImgBurn has this to say about including all that crap: "Pay more attention when you install programs. You had the chance to opt out of installing whatever the opencandy platform offered you during the installation of ImgBurn, you just missed it."
