CNET Editors' review
Highly versatile and especially proficient with boot discs, UltraISO Premium creates, edits, and burns disc images in several popular formats: ISO, BIN, Nero, Alcohol, CloneCD, and Xbox. It also converts images among formats. UltraISO supports data and audio/video discs and includes a simple MP3 encoder, but it really excels at creating bootable discs. It even can create a disc with a menu for booting several OSs.
The interface is well organized, though rather plain, and we wish its icons were more readable. Also on the negative side, the program can't mount CD images, which will diminish its value for some. However, if you need support for multiple image formats and want to design bootable discs, UltraISO makes a very good pick.
Publisher's Description
From EZB Systems:
UltraISO can extract, create, edit, and convert CD/DVD image files. It can directly edit an ISO file, make ISO images from CD/DVD-ROMs, create a new ISO from files and folders on your computer, and make bootable CDs and DVDs. In addition, UltraISO can convert nearly all known CD and DVD image formats to ISO, BIN/CUE, Nero (NRG), Alcohol 120% (MDS/MDF), and CloneCD (CCD/IMG/SUB) formats, as well as burn CD/DVD images directly with built-in burning engine and emulate ISO images with up to 8 virtual CD/DVD drives.
What's new in this version: Version 9.52 includes Lame 3.99 encoder.

"Malware warning! PUP Alert!"
Version: UltraISO Premium 9.5.2.2836
Pros
UltraISO worked well for me, and I would have given it 3.5 stars, but soon after downloading it an Avast anti-virus boot scan found the following infected file: "cnet2_uiso9_pe_exe.exe|>[UPX] is infected by Win32:InstallCore-AM [PUP]".
Cons
Evidently the CNET download of UltraISO included some malware known as a PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program) that may have tried to install the Blekko toolbar, an option that I declined when I installed UltraISO. So now you have been warned!
Summary
Download at your own risk!
Regarding Win32:InstallCore-AM this is not the first time it has happened on CNET. See the review for DAEMON Tools Lite 4.45.4

None that I can think of.
