I don't know who is familiar with Daemon Tools, but it's one of (if not THE BEST) cd-rom emulators out there and to top it off IT'S FREE!

The latest version is v4.00 which just came out the other day. You can use it to mount the image file from Microsoft Visual Studio Express with it.

Just remember to uncheck the search bar (ad-ware) when you are given the option to (make sure to pay attention to what you are clicking "next" on)

It may be ok but I would be leery of a Latvian domain with a Danish system admin putting stuff on your computer. There has been some bad stuff come out of the Baltics in the last few years. Not a review or a putdown, just a cautionary note.

Thanks for cautionary note. So you know...

I've been using this with Symantec Antivirus, firewall, ePest Patrol, MS Anti-spy beta and not once has it asked for net access (hence uncheck the adware on this version) nor did it trigger any virus activity or virus-like behavior. Also, I've been running v3.47 for over a year without ANY problems.

If you are uneasy about downloading from their homepage, ZD Net has v3.47 for download, but will not work as well as the new v4.00. Also, v3.47 does not have any adware, so you don't have to worry about unchecking for it.

A correction, the software is free, but they DO accept donations.

Another note, it's featured in the Tech TV show "Screensavers." It's linked to the website on the first post.

Again, thanks for taking the time to look into the site.

Thanks for the additional info, Schizo. Sounds like it's probably ok. It's just that I've had to un-hose too many user systems in the last few years because of users installing stuff that's not completely trustworthy.

Hi wmburdette,

Why should something be fishy just because a guy is Danish? :-)

Also, there is not necessarily a direct link between the registred information on an IP-block, and the actual system administrator of a single web site.
