Question on Burnaware

HELLO -
I have a question about a DVD burning software program,
specifically, 'BURNAWARE'.
I had downloaded this program a couple of weeks ago
and I have been happy with it. I was all set to recommend
it to a friend of mine but today when I typed in the
'BURNAWARE' name on my computer to do a search, I see that
the site is flagged with the ominous red warning that
says 'Warning: Dangerous Downloads'.
It wasn't flagged as a bad site a couple of weeks ago.
This 'BURNAWARE' software is in fact even listed on
the MAJORGEEKS download page as recommended software.
What's up? Has something changed? Have these 'BURNAWARE'
guys been seduced by the dark side?

 

Were you searching using Google or Yahoo or similar? Are you sure that you typed in Burnaware correctly? It's not unusual for people to create domain names that are similar to a famous and trusted one to try and catch people out. Hotmail is an example of this. Hotmail is safe but there is an untrustworthy website with a very similar name and if you mistype, you can end up there as I did one day.

Check your history if you think you might have mistyped and you will see what you actually typed.

 

Yes, I'm sure I typed the name correctly.
The red flags only seems to be on YAHOO.
It's not flagged on GOOGLE.
It is a great little program and I don't want to stop using it or give it false bad mouth.
I haven't had any problems but I'm just leary now, of recommending it to others.
Maybe I'll try contacting YAHOO to get some specifics.
Thanks for the quick reply. Also, JOTTI seems to be a handy tool.
I'll add it to my malware arsenal, thanks to all for the tips.

 

I went back to Yahoo and I was able to get some additional info.
It looks like McAfee does there analysis.
I'm going to try to attach a copy of the report.
The gist of it is that there are some low level nuisance things tied into
the 'BURNAWARE FREE' version. I like the BURNAWARE program enough that I just went ahead and got the paid version (BURNAWARE HOME).

 

Here is the McAfee report that I got.
I got the report on March10, 2010.
I don't know if it's the same report that HALO mentioned or not.
