New ImgBurn 2.5.2.0

[signals]

ASK starts talking to the internet and wanting to change things before the installer really gets started, even with it all unckecked. Kaspersky2011 does not like it and neither do I. Fail-back to 2510.

Asked the author about the issue.

Changed: Moved the running of the Toolbar checker program (checks to see if the toolbar should be offered at all) to before the installer GUI loads - so now there's no pause between pages.

As per the changelog, the installer runs the checker program in its startup sequence.

I did that to prevent the 'pause' before the toolbar offer page came up (which is where/how click happy users ended up installing it without realising).

So really all I've done is move when the checker runs. It still runs either way and so 2.5.2.0 is no different to 2.5.1.0 in that respect.

You just get the 'pause' in a different place - and one where users can't then bitch about it installing without asking.

It's interesting how that 'signals' person thinks you can uncheck something in the installer before the installer GUI has even loaded!

I don't know what the checker is doing when it connects to the internet, I've never taken the time to see what it actually sends or connects to (nor do I really know how to snoop on the data being sent). It would make my life a lot easier if they didn't though! They claim its function is just to see if the machine is suitable for the toolbar offer/installation - i.e. supported OS, browser and doesn't already have it installed.

Thanks for the clarification/explanation Cynthia and pass the thanks along to LUK! as well.
Very much appreciated

Let me clarify my earlier post. The things that were happening may be benign, but after the fourth popup from Kaspersky, I bailed out due to time pressures but will go back and try it again when I can watch it more closely.

Like many of you, I could not survive without ImgBurn and all that LUK! does to keep it alive. The sad truth is that it would not be necessary to have this dreck in it if everyone that uses it would make a contribution once in a while. I recommended this in the first post in the ImgBurn thread in our Third Party Products sub-forum here and I hope all my friends in the DVDFab Forum will do their part to support Img. Even small donations add up if there are enough of them.

Good idea Paul

No issues here after updating IMGBURN on Sat ... settings remained fine, including the option I had in DVDFAB to use Imgburn as my default choice. Also, agree about being careful not to install Ask toolbar. I first unchecked all th sub check boxes, then unchecked the main one.
All it did was install Imgburn as I wanted.

I like the new look. Didn't notice any of my settings being changed. Imgburn remains my number one burning program. The Ask toolbar option doesn't bother me a bit, easy to see and check/uncheck. A lot of programs these days have options like that at install. Better being up front about it rather than installing something behind your back. I don't fault them for it as they are just trying to make a buck or two in the process of providing these programs to us. LUK continues to rock with his bad ass self!
