Carl Ewing Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 This site seems sketchy af. Anyone have experience with them? The downloader also looks proprietary - as in, the license they give you cannot be used with copy from the developer. I'm skeptical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cclarry Posted December 9, 2021 Author Share Posted December 9, 2021 I can tell you that Bitdefender didn't like the Luminar 4 Installer and blocked it...may have been a false positive, but I'm not risking it....I don't need it so why bother! After the initial download I scanned it with Bitdefender, which said it was clean, but, upon installing, Bitdefender blocked it, saying it was a malicious application. I've downloaded from Shareware on Sale before...and everything was fine...but not this time...so I got rid of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cclarry Posted December 9, 2021 Author Share Posted December 9, 2021 I'll still trust Bitdefender....after 10 years, it's never let me down...so I'd rather be safe than sorry.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I skip the proprietary installers. They usually wrap in some Shareware on sale add in program. Try the direct link posted to get the serial number then use the installer from the Skylum website. I'd be shocked if it doesn't work.

I heard of this theory, I think it was a famous politician, that if you stop looking for viruses, maybe they won't be there? So you could just disable Bitdefender for 5 minutes and whatever it found might actually be gone. Worst case scenario, if your computer does get infected, you could simply inject some disinfectant into the RAM, I hear that might work, too. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately though, people realize that your computer virus advice is utter nonsense. don't follow it, and three quarters of a million computers won't be destroyed over it.

cclarry Posted December 12, 2021 Author Share Posted December 12, 2021 So, I neglected to get back to this... The next day this installed without issue.... so that's pretty crazy....whatever Bitdefender found, I'm glad it blocked it...and now it's installed and working fine! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
