    I liked your video on reimage, but then I saw some comments and video's saying it is a virus. Why would they be saying that?
    ( I also hope that if any of you that are in Florida or any of the areas hit by the hurricane - are all safe !! )

    Reimage is not a virus, I have downloaded and scanned the file. I also see no comment on the Reimage page saying there was a virus. I know some Anti-virus software create false positives on some programs/files, whether by intent or accident. Major Geeks also takes the time to test out all software they put on their website and also make an effort to remove software that may be bundled with junk, or contact the author of the program to try and get a clean(er) version for the website.

    I have trusted Major Geeks since the Windows ME era and will continue to trust them. More so then some other websites I used to download software from (Cough)C|Net Download(Cough)

    As Gaming Insider said, Reimage is not and does not contain any virus as long as you download it from a safe site like Major Geeks. Some other download sites may contain modified versions of the file that may contain a virus or other malware.

    Thank you both for your comments. I saw the comments watching a series of youtube video's about various programs, it was some personal comments and one was a program to remove reimage. I did think that major geeks would not be using or endorsing something that was creating a problem, but I wanted to ask. I am new at much of this. Possibly downloading it from another site may have caused the problem for a couple others.
    Once again, thanks ! I will be downloading it from major geeks. Grateful !
