Installed power iso and since did eset is popping up blocking websites that power iso is trying to connect to. Eset blocked like 62 sites..and this only started after poweriso was installed. Any idea why?
My question is why is this type of software attempting to connect to the Internet with the activity you posted? It is basically just software to create a .iso file for the most part. At most, the only outbound connection it would need is to the vendor's server for software updates.
One benign reason is the software is trying to update itself. It should have an option to change/disable auto updating. Disable auto update and if the outbound connections cease, you have resolved the issue.
This post was to express surprise that the same old WinISO code has since, surfaced & been renamed to PowerISO? (remember, winiso wasn't updated since 4 years - something fishy in this, the licensed buyers of winiso left in the lurch so the utility maker can profit more by launching poweriso?)
I always use MagicISO, It supports createing /editing more cd/dvd image format than Poweriso. and you can burn files and folders to cd/dvd on the fly. Its freeware - MagicDisc can also allow you to mount cd/dvd image.
I slipstreamed acrobat 7.0.5 to my acrobat admin install. then i slipstreamed 7.0.7. Then I created an ISO using PowerISO. I told it not to compress it but it still did anyways. Did it twice and both twice it compressed it to 307 mb from 500+ mb.
Anyway, I tried to install from it and it said it couldn't read such and such file. I had to quit the installation. I tried it twice and same problem. Then I tried to copy the files from the mounted ISO to hard drive and it said there were some errors.
So i did not see poweriso as a supported program for playonlinux, nor did i find a current thread on this particular program, however i installed it anyway and it is working rather flawlessly except for one thing ive noticed so far.
When i go to make a bootable USB (which was the whole reason i installed poweriso) it will not find any of my usb drives. However if i go to burn a file to CD/DVD it does see both of my actual disk drives (CD/DVD drives). I was wondering if someone might be able to point me in the right direction. I want to make this work because i want to be able to make bootable usb drives using .DMG files without having to go to OSX or Windows to make it. Poweriso supports this feature in the windows release but it seems that it is not supported in the linux release, which is why im opting to run it on playonlinux. That and i have a license for it, which doesnt seem to be usable on the linux version either.
No idea what i should do now, i was looking through the virtual drives files to see if i could edit anything, i have some novice programming experience but i cant find the files i would need to make changes to. Or maybe i did find them but i dont know how to edit them. I opened a couple files and it was mostly gibberish. Maybe since its a windows program i have to decompile it?
Any assistance with this would be appreciated, im not holding my breathe though. I have a feeling its just not going to do what i want. Everything else seems to work though. I did convert a DMG to an ISO and save it to the desktop so i can work around this if there is no way to make it work.
