Axe6st Posted November 22, 2013 ID:756837 Share Posted November 22, 2013 I have been using imgburn for a while and have never seen any malicious activity from it. Someone pointed out that your program detects the installer for it as a pup. I thought maybe his installer was infected from something else, so I downloaded it from majorgeeks (should be able to trust that download), and it came up as pup - opencandy for me also. Just wondering if that is a false positive or if there is a reason for it to be classified as a pup? If so, why?Thanks for your info, and thanks for having such a great product. I have relied on it for years and is the best malware scanner out there. Keep up the good work!!Axe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Atribune Posted November 22, 2013 Staff ID:756860 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Hi Axe6st, The detection of the imgburn installer is due to the fact they bundle the opencandy installer in their software. Opencandy is detected as a PUP which means it meets the criteria on this page http://www.malwarebytes.org/pup/ Hope this helps. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axe6st Posted November 22, 2013 Author ID:756866 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Thanks for your info. As an advanced user, I know to do a custom install and uncheck all the other crap that I don't want. lolI actually did not install it recently until I read your reply. It now installs mcafee site advisor and sendori if you don't tell it not to.But I'm glad to know it doesn't have anything in the img burn program itself. Thanks a lot for your info and your fast response.Axe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
