Just be aware - if you download and install ImgBurn, you may be installing a notorious piece of adware/spyware called "OpenCandy". This in itself may not be enough reason for you to choose not to install ImgBurn, but you should at least know what else comes with it.
Actually it seems that PhredP is right, ImgBurn nowadays contains OpenCandy greyware, but it is an optional element in the installer, i.e. it suggests you to install the toolbar, but you can tick that selection off and get ImgBurn only. So, nothing dramatic really, author just trying to make some extra money if people want to install the toolbar. If not, it wont install it.
Then again, majority of freeware tools seem to do that nowadays -- I consider those "adware" that force you to install toolbars, etc and not those that offer those as an optional extra.

Good to know. And i agree, i assumed it was forced on the original poster and not an option during install.
shows how long it is since I went near a windoze install.. anyway.. it's optional.. I say lets have some freeware with real nasty spyware as an "option" not to accept .. to teach people to READ the installer instead of next next next like sheep eh?
