I strongly suspect you downloaded it from a site other than the Official ImgBurn website:  https://www.imgburn.com/

There are a ton of sites out there that operate along the lines of "ten best free blu-ray burning programs" that will offer ImgBurn (which it can legally do since ImgBurn in open source).  But those sites often have sketchy download add-ons.  But if you download from the official ImgBurn website, you will only ever get the clean version of the program; and it won't contain anything else.

I've been using it and regularly updating since it first came out in 2005 and never had a problem with malware (or any other issues).  I'm not sure what could have gone wrong in your case.

Justy Gyee:
this was the most recent forum post.
