Burn4free spyware??

[John Prophet]

I have seen Burn4free spoken of here by lots of people....so I needed a free burning app for a build so I figured Id go with Burn4Free....

so I am installing it and the first step it is asking me to install 'navexcel' and soem sort of search toolbar....and there is no way to skip that step....

are they freaking kidding????

There is another free burner program that dont add that crap and is good. I cant find it right now but will continue to look.

[John Prophet]

I am just surprised no one mentioned this before...like I say this software has come highly recommended...but its hard to believe it is recommended if you have to accept a search toolbar etc, lol

same with kazaa, it comes with a browser hijacker packed right in

I have Burn4Free installed and I've run Adaware and Spybot with the latest updates and neither ever found any spyware.

but it adds a search toolbar??

[jman01pa]

Did you try uninstalling the toolbar from add/remove programs?

[John Prophet]

hah

I installed it...ran adaware and got 12 instances of malware for "navexcel"

Navexel toolbar is also listed in the add/remove progs....I ran adaware b4 I uninstalled it....I should have uninstalled it first and then did adaware to se eif it left any reg entries etc

[jman01pa]

After you removed the spyware does the software still function? I had read on another website that it will but have not tested it myself.

seems it works..I went thru the motions of burning but didnt click on burn....seems it works
