"Have not used it yet,should hopefully do the job."

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.

"MALWARE!!!!!!!"
Version: Daemon Tools Lite 4.47.1
Pros

Cons
Added Malware to my computer that I have so far been unable to remove. Particularly MIXIDJ

"Viruses and Malware. Stay Away."
Version: Daemon Tools Lite 4.47.1
Pros
Software does actually perform the function it says but....
Cons
It comes packaged with viruses and malware which you get no real option to disable.
Summary
Do not download this, it will infect your computer with malware and viruses that take control of your browser and are extremely time consuming to get rid of, and persist long after you've uninstalled the software from this company. If you want ISO mounting software, I suggest you look elseware, to developers who won't maliciously infect your computer.
