• Both Malware & Anti-Virus Indicate Problems w/App

  Phil_LightSeptember 5, 2014

  Pros

  It does work as indicated but there are several problems with the application on install. GIF frame extract does work as advertised.

  Cons

  It makes registry changes for the search features and introduces malware as a part of the install. My anti-virus also tripped off on a URL it was attempting to connect to after install that was already blocked by the IP address.

  Summary

  This product would appear to be unsafe even with the custom installation needed to avoid introducing additional unwanted programs. Makes registry changes which may compromise certain windows commands and anti malware programs quarantine the changes immediately. The IP address this program attempts to connect to post-install is already blacklisted by anti-virus (ESET). Doesn't seem worth the risk. But what do you expect for free!
