    I've never used CamStudio before, but it seems to have a good reputation online. I've tried to DL it several times for the past few days, and both AVG and Malwarebytes refuse to allow the program to load, labeling it malware. Apparently, the program has been hacked in the past, but does anyone know of any reason today not to download it? If I wanted to actually let the download go through, would I have to take it out of the Malwarebytes quarantine first?
