Install Imgburn
Robert
I've searched the forum and /s switch should silently install ImbBurn, but using the latest version of setup exe, doesn't seem to work. Looking on NSIS homepage it says that this has to be enabled from author of installation.
In first step, this script copy the saved registry keys to the computer's registry database. Then start the setup program in silent mode, and now the setup program can read the installation options from registry database. Third step is an extra option, copy language file...
So I clicked "install now", but the program closed and opened explorer to show me the .PHP file. I tried clicking on the PHP file, but apparently i didn't have any apps to open it. So I reopened the installer, but then it generated more .PHP files while not installing.
i used to have imgburn but i deleted it so i could install a newer version since i was always getting an I/O error during burnings.and yes i made sure i deleted the folder in my programs.but it wont let me install the newer vers ion i get an error message saying imgburn has stopped working.please check online for a solution.
oesnt matter i cant get this thing to work anyways.it still all clear and wont let you click on anything and it freezes my pc when i open it.i read on another post of people who had the same problem and you told them to click on tools and go to settings.problem is i cant go to setting because when i click on tools it shows settings but its all clear and wont let you click on it.when i open imgburn it is clear and says trying to load the scic or atapi or something like that.and it never loads.
I'm really sorry if this is answered somewhere else or if it's a stupid question, but I just downloaded Imgburn 2.5.8 for my son to backup his Dreamcast games and I cannot find where on my pc the Imgburn downloaded to.
It downloads wherever your BROWSER that you used to download is configured to put it. Usually by default that's the /downloads folder under your username. The program files (x86) is the installation folder, that's completely different.
Now my problem is that I read I need these three files (pfctoc.dll, pfctoc.h, pfctoc.lib) to burn the Dreamcast games and I downloaded a zip containing all three, but now I'm not understanding where I put them after I unzip them.
I downloaded imgburn which I heard is a great program for burning ISOs from disks, ran both Kaspersky and Malwarebytes scans of the installation file and both scans indicated clean. Then executed the installation. After being unpacked...Kaspersky flagged as malicious, deleted the program and rolled back due to the damage caused by the malware. Malwarebytes at the same time blocked several websites the malware was apparently attempting to open some backdoors.
I feel stupid...not having uploaded to virus total like I usually do a file before executing...which after the fact was flagged by something like 27 or so virus engines out of 60..with all kinds of nasty malware names.
The point is this...imgburn may be a good product, but many download sites pack it with all kinds of adware, trojans, malware and who knows what else. So be careful from where you download your programs.
Still, between Kaspersky and Malwarebytes working in unison...the malware was stopped dead in its tracks, other websites blocked, the malware deleted and damage to files and registry entries rolled back.
The moral...Malwarebytes is a great program but still better to utilize in combination with another top ranked anti-virus protection. And any beware suspect programs run through total virus...when they are packed...the viruses cannot be detected until executed.

You wouldn't happen to have a link to the exact copy you downloaded or at least a link to the VirusTotal scan results handy would you? I'd really like to pass it on to the Research team for analysis (and to inspect it myself as I'm also curious to see what nasties they've packed into it; which are most likely PUPs (adware etc.) as you suspect, as that's most often what we see with such modified/bundled installers).
Wow, that is quite a few detections and based on the vendor names being used by most of the AVs that hit it, it does indeed appear to be a typical bundled installer with PUPs onboard/a downloader/installer for PUPs (not actual malware, but most likely not stuff that you want on your computer; i.e. probably some kind of adware or junk/useless software that tries to convince you to purchase it etc.).
Just for what it is worth, these imgburn download websites are all over the place..and i noticed the downloads are sometimes larger..sometimes smaller, depending on the website offering the download...the larger ones containing more malware. I have read the cleanest down load is on majorgeeks...but there is some sort of malware even in its download.
I leave it to you guys to decide if the many sites with this program should be flagged or not.....but its pretty bad when you can download a packed program that malwarebytes and antiviruses do not detect until you start installing and unpacking....and then find yourself possibly infested with all sorts of malware. I didn't even know malware in packed files was impervious to detection until I read about it after my near death experience :-)
Well, true 'packed malware' isn't really the same thing as a bundled installer (which is likely what these Imgburn installers are). When you hear the term 'packer' or 'malicious packer' etc. in technical/threat research discussions, what they're referring to is actually a specific type of compression and encryption used for obfuscating code to prevent analysis (i.e. scanning etc.) of the file's contents.
In the case of these installers, it's probably just that they're using some off-the-shelf installer package technology which isn't typically scanned by most AV/AM vendors so the bad components aren't seen directly until the installer extracts them to a temporary location in preparation for installing them (something I've seen happen often, and in fact have had Malwarebytes detect/block/quarantine such components during the install of an otherwise good/safe program, leaving me with only the program I intended to install on my system in the end).
In this case, it sounds like some of these aren't just bundling stuff directly into the package, but may also be downloading additional components to try and install them (hence the web blocks from Malwarebytes).
With all of that said, nothing stops Malwarebytes or the AV vendors from detecting these installation packages directly. It's just a matter of the Research team acquiring samples and analyzing them then generating signatures to target them, assuming they are deemed to be PUP or malicious.
Ghost....my malwarebytes blocked the backdoors.....so that no additional software could be downloaded to the computer....what Kaspersky did was to stop the malware in its tracks while it was starting to make changes to my registry entries, etc., eliminated the malware and rolled back all of the changes....so they worked in Unison. Of course if I didn't have malwarebytes, perhaps kaspersky would have blocked the backdoors itself. But I am not willing to experiment and find out :-)
Personally, I clicked on the 'Download' link, followed by one called 'complete list of download locations' at the bottom of the page. I then selected 'United Kingdom' from the 'DVD downloads' section right at the bottom of the page. I then opted to download the file called 'ubuntu-7.10-dvd-i386.iso' by clicking on it. Thanks to the University of Kent for providing the download mirror
Normally when you want to install an application in Ubuntu you'd do so via the 'Synaptic Package Manager' which you'll find on the 'System' -> 'Administration' menu that we saw earlier on. The trouble is, at the time of writing this guide (and this will probably still be the case when you do it), the version of Wine available on there isn't actually the latest and greatest one.
When you're done with that, remove/delete the 'ImgBurn.lnk' file from your desktop (shown with the red arrow) - it's just the normal (Windows) ImgBurn shortcut file only they're not valid on Ubuntu. Wine will have automatically created a proper one for you.
I am appalled by the amount of whining about OpenCandy with the installation or update of ImgBurn. That prompted me to construct a tutorial with pictures to help click happy people avoid installing unwanted add-ons.
It's always easy to say I would donate $xxx.xx if only you did 'this' or 'that' or 'if this didn't happen' or 'that is what I need you to do with your program". FFS it's freeware and the developer keeps working on it and improving it without charging for it and the whiners keep thinking they have a right to tell him what to do.
I've been accused of flaming posters on here lately, and I surely do. But the only ones who get hammered are the ones who fall into the above category. They may not say it, but if I read between the lines and feel that is what they are saying I personally do not care if they were going to buy the program from LUK I will express my opinion. And if they do buy it they can fire my happy arse right after they kiss it.
I am running Linux Mint v20.x and I figured I would make a account here to post this info since it will likely be of big help for someone wanting to run ImgBurn here in March 2022 on a Linux system (and will likely continue to work into the future to, especially assuming PlayOnLinux continues to work with future versions of Linux Mint).
the short answer is... install PlayOnLinux (sudo apt install playonlinux), then through PlayOnLinux install Wine v4.0.4 (I use 64bit (amd64)), configure Wine so it's using Windows XP mode, then ImgBurn will work as expected (and detect your CD/DVD drives with it's default ASPI mode). NOTE: everything is configured here through a GUI (graphic user interface) with the exception of the initial 'sudo apt install playonlinux' command from the terminal, which should be easier for novices (and not to mention people like clicking stuff instead of typing ). NOTE: for more details on setup/configuration see "TIP #1" and "TIP #2" etc below!
