"Too much malware."
Version: Daemon Tools Lite 4.47.1
Pros
The virtual drive works.
Cons
Tries to trick you into installing junk/malware, but even if you read carefully and choose not to install it, it goes ahead and does so anyway. I installed this, knowing they'd ad junk without my permission, thinking I could just easily uninstall it afterward. Nope. They went out of their way making it difficult to remove. Crap like this should be illegal. Heck, it probably is.
Summary
Try to find something safer.

"Poor install process, closes browsers without asking"
Version: Daemon Tools Lite 4.47.1
Pros
Didn't get passed installer but have used before. Is OK as an ISO mounter.
Cons
Tries to install unwanted software.
Would be goo dif you could get this without all the adware and a decent installer that doesn't close all your open browsers!Summary
Really poor instalation process. I didn't get to install it as it closed my browsers and tried to install unwanted software. Gave up on it at this point.

"Malware ("Coupons by Quickshare"/"TopArcadeHits")"
Version: Daemon Tools Lite 4.47.1
Pros
STAY VERY FAR AWAY!!! There should be a flashing 72pt warning in read that screams, "WARNING: CONTAINS MALWARE!!!"
Cons
Again, MALWARE!!! Opt out as much as you like, it doesn't matter.
Summary
CNET is officially on my S-LIST.
MaxxGold lies!!! Don't download this piece of excrement.

"Have not used it yet,should hopefully do the job."
Version: Daemon Tools Lite 4.47.1
Pros
Unable to give any at the moment as I have not used it.
Cons
Unable to give any at the moment as I have not used it.

"Does the job"
Version: Daemon Tools Lite 4.47.1
Pros
Able to mount images quickly and efficently. Virtual device access seems faster than the alternatives.
Cons
Installs all sorts of other nasty crap along with program.
Summary
Free for personal use is always good when the alternatives for what I required were pay. The price you do pay is the time spent cleaning up your system and browsers from the installed crap.

"Just read before you click.."
Version: Daemon Tools Lite 4.47.1
Pros
Clean, fast no nonsense
Cons
If you just click through you will have really bothersome toolbars and stuff as a bundle.
Summary
You will actually have to read the options when installing to have a clean install of DeamonTools decline the searchbar. it doesnt cancel the installation and then choose custom installation and uncheck the extra optins om 3rd party software.

"Works, but can't prevent extra installs"
Version: Daemon Tools Lite 4.47.1
Pros
Works as described
Takes very little resourcesCons
Installs toolbars on your computer after choosing not to have them installed.
Summary
No matter what choices made during install, you will have toolbars installed against your will into all of your browsers. After choosing not to have anything extra installed, including analyzing all the custom install options, to have it still install multiple spyware on my PC is unacceptable. I know it came from this install because I chose NOT to install that specific toolbar, yet it installed anyway.
Agreed, you cannot prevent the install of the SweetIM toolbar AND the SweetIM updater. You can't make claims about other people's reviews.
