The Readme.txt file did say:
"If you have Kaspersky antivirus, disable it and restart the computer."
and
"IMPORTANT: please note that due to the Themida wrapper usage your installation might be blocked by your antivirus (AVG, Avast or Kaspersky)!".
...
I did try to install it without turning off Kaspersky.
But a pop up window appeared saying that the install has stopped working.
Two choices:
Click to find out online why.
Click to close the install program.
I chose to close the install.
...
I will NOT disable Kaspersky anti-virus in order to install this BurnAware.
Just forget about it.
Other burner software do not seem to have this problem with Kaspersky.
In addition, I have installed many other GiveawayOfThe Day software with Kaspersky anti-virus turned on; and never had a problem with the Themida wrapper.

What a hassle for a burn program of which there are thirteen in a dozen.
Windows can burn DVDs. And there are more than enough FREE burning programs to download.

Just curious, Why did you all delete my honest post about the program and the warning to others here that this company adds hidden programs in their download installation programs? I just wanted to let others that I downloaded another program from their site and that it offered me 2 add on programs along with main one I wanted. I clicked no to those extras and finished the install and there was a third, "hidden" program. Google Chrome that was slipped in the installation bundle and I was neither given the option nor the knowledge it was there til post install. I wanted the others here to know and beware for this tactic. But I only said positive things about this program. Just Curious why, after it was posted here for several hours and passed moderation, it was taken down?

After installing this program I opened it and I UN-checked the auto task to "check for new updates", which is located in the settings tab. I am pretty sure if you update this free version like most GAOTD software, the license /registration will go away.

Thank you very much for this nice no nonsense program that has so many functions, updated smoothly from v. 10.2. Did not have a chance to use it, but it is surely a good one to have.
Thanks again !!!

Wow! Quite a heated discussion on the use of the various types of media used, but almost nothing about how good or bad today's software is. I've used Burnaware free for quite a while and have been more than happy with it and welcome the chance to upgrade to the Premium version. The software is easy to use, plenty of options and doesn't suddenly decide it doesn't like the disc half way through burning, like Nero often did rendering the disc useless (even re-writable discs). My car has a cd player that also accepts SD cards, flash drives and aux input from my phone, but I tend to use CD most of all, there's something about having a real physical medium instead of a flash drive or whatever. Great software thanks Burnaware and GOTD.

I don't know exactly what the GAOTD wrapper is for. But I am not going to turn off Kaspersky, restart my computer and then connect to the internet with my computer security turned off, even for what appears to be a very good offering. GAOTD, can't you devise a process for downloading your offerings without turning off my Kaspersky Internet Security and restarting my computer without security?

At this time I have no discs to burn data to, but have been on the lookout for a good burner software for when I do get some. Judging from most of the comments here, I feel that I can trust that this one will do nicely. So I am downloading it and installing it on this computer.

Thanks to all that posted comments that convinced me to grab this one, and thanks to BurnAware and GAOTD!

Hey All,
Downloaded via email link. It didn't want to download as a conflict with my anti-virus. After turning it off as per the GAOTD instructions BurnAware loaded and installed quickly.
It looks like a really nice prog. I know I will get a bit of use from this.

I then went to their website and decided to download the free PDF Shaper (PDF Editor) to test for awhile. Maybe even keep if it works well.
I will say this: if you download anything from this company...watch for them trying to add other programs into the download. It offered 2 different extra progs and I clicked NO then when it finished downloading...up pops Google Chrome. I was not given a chance to decline. It was slipped in without notification. So Again watch if you decide to get ANYTHING else from this company as it seems they like to add crap progs on the sly. JUST FYI to other GAOTD down-loaders.
But as for the offered prog. It seems like a wide range prog for disks. Not every ones cup of tea but hey you or someone you may know might like to use disks or need some back-ups for older ones. (LOL, My Jeep has an old single disk CD player and no 1/8th " plug for auxilliary use. SO....)
Simple interface, instructions/ tutorial links on their webpage, I even noticed in the options tab you can add some basic metadata...so give it a try, maybe keep it for a rainy day. 32.9MB in the folder so not big cluttering prog. I am assuming the stated 12.7MB above is for the installer not the actual prog.

2.5 outta 5. as we are a mostly digital society now a days.

Best regards,
~Coal

Benny,
I also have Avast and pause it as Coalfire suggests however, I select 'disable for 10 minutes' as that has always been enough time to do an install. If you do choose the 1 hour, be sure to turn it back on immediately after install so as not to leave yourself vulnerable. Just FYI.

Wow...just can't fathom the number of stupid comments about 'who needs a CD when there are USB enabled devices'.
This is a really decent GAOTD offering. Like I have said a while back...anyone who thinks they don't need CDs ...are the same clowns who watch movies on their cell phones...we all aren't well off enough to have every latest gadget..let alone a vehicle with USB ports, so guess what...we still need CDs...I can fit 90 or so MP3's on a data CD... so my 'old fashioned' 6 disc CD player in my 'ancient' 2010 xterra can still hold almost 600 tunes...how much more do you need??
For the record...I still remember the days when I had to make a phone call....I had to go home and use the phone...

I was very late coming in today, otherwise I would have been the first to praise and recommend this programme.
1] From past usage.
2] I moved the old version to a safe place, just in case, and installed this. Never been so easy. No codes, registration or activation code nonsense, just download and instal (one L). And no licence limitation either. I even forgot to deactivate the antivirus but it didn't matter! Then I deleted the old version.
From time to time GAOTD offers something really good, which compensates for the crapware at other times. This is something really good.

Just Sayin, I will consider changing it. I had used it for a less serious forum where all sorts of crazy names were used and it was very appropriate. I began recently to think that here it is not. I'll give some thought to a new name in the next two or three weeks, you have a point and I appreciate your mentioning it. But for the moment it must stay as I do not want to keep on changing it.

Can some of you just sit back, take a deep breath and stop yammering on and on about today's usefulness of CDs, DVDs, laptops, USB sticks, video streaming, etc.? And all the personal, petty verbal attacks being dished out? People use what they are comfortable with and what is relevant to THEM for whatever reason. Please stick to evaluating the software for ease of installation, what it does and what it promises to do. Thanks, GOTD for passing along what seems to be a great offering.

Ideal program, ideal installation. Downloaded and installed without issue on a Win10Home x64 machine. My suggestion for improvement would be a portable version. For something like this that I do not use very often, I always prefer that.

I assume this is a 'lifetime, no updates' license. Again, as I have asked many times before, GOTD, I wish you would make that license info a required field!

Thank you BurnAware and GOTD!

Terry, this is very likely, but less use is made of DVD burners. You have that thing for a desktop PC. Laptops usually do not have an optical drive anymore. You have to tell your customers that there are USB sticks that you can easily connect to a flat screen. Then you will not burn your burner because those things do not have the eternal. Then you do not have to tell your customers that they have to wait a few days or more for that DVD because you have to buy a new burner for your PC.

Unless you buy a quantity of USB sticks and charging the customer more money...well dvd/cd's will work to your advantage and sales.Unless the customer has a USB stick or wants to purchase one from me, then I can give them their portraits.videos that way.

Lois Van Ghendt, I believe you would be astounded to find the true number of people who do not even personally know someone who owns a laptop...much less the netbook to which you are actually referring. I can personally take you to one of my next door neighbors who doesn't even comprehend what blu-ray technology is. I am a retired computer technician who made house calls (there is a lot of money in that market) so I have several of about all the different PC platforms: smartphones, tablets, netbooks, notebook, laptops, desktops, and a lan. Other than large urban areas and around a college campus, you are not actually going to find a lot of really large areas where you can get wifi for free. That puts you back to you carriers wifi capability within a given rural piece of real estate. My wife and I travel quite a bit by car and have unlimited data access with a national carrier and free roaming nation wide. However, I can tell you from personal experience that we have found many areas where not only was internet service not available; neither was XM radio except just in and out. In these cases, music DVDs come in pretty handy since I can have up to 6 of them already loaded up with uninterupted music anytime I want. You are wrong.

Reply   |   Comment by aktopgun  –  5 years ago  –  Did you find this comment useful? yes | no (+15)

Yes, wrong. When driving, there are many places where there is no radio reception or only Christian stations so if you want your music a few CDs with MP3s will while away the hours.

You can get an external burner for a laptop etc. from eBay from around $15. That will also let you rip your CDs to MP3 for whatever device you need.

Reply   |   Comment by Jim Jones  –  5 years ago  –  Did you find this comment useful? yes | no (+3)

Lois Van Ghendt, Not all flat screens have a USB port, and the sales of external burners has actually increased in the past 2 years. Why? Because folks, like Terry use them to help others. I have a CD player in the car. If you think I am going to rip it out to install an mp3 player unit, or butcher it to accept phone input, not gonna happen.

son, Why do you think that we all should be using the same technology you use? The fact is that we are all free to use whatever we want, and should never listen to folks that want us to get the supposed "Latest and Greatest". I have used all the different types of technology for recorded media, and each has its ups and downs, even that which you are so bent upon advertising. There are things you cannot do with a smartphone, and the memory capacity on a smartphone at this time is limited, even with the highest capacity Micro SD Cards. You go out and buy up a stack of 100 blank DVD or Blue Ray discs, and you already have more memory space than a high capacity Micro SD Card, and for a lot less $. Plus the SD Cards have iffy lifespans, while discs can last a very long time as long as you treat them with good care.

I have old CDs and DVDs that are from the beginning of that technology that work just as well as they did when they were new. No data corruption, no loss of quality, etc. I cannot say that about USB Flash Drives or SD Cards. Some of mine are already burnt out because of overuse. I cannot do that with any of my discs, unless the machine I put them in has an overheating issue. many of my oldest discs were produced in the 1990's and still work perfectly. Flash Drives and SD Cards were not in use at that time, and some are already not working at all.

aktopgun, You must first read each postng of me correctly. ... music DVDs are useful ... I do not break music DVDs. Windows can also burn music DVDs, even NCH software can burn music DVDs. So I'm not wrong. It is more convenient when a USB port is available, that you use a USB stick, also to play movies on your flat screen. That is called progress. But the progress is so fast that some devices are outdated after a few months and that is a fact. Certainly those things that stick to the ears, as it were.

DJ, Terry use them to help others....Free work? No, Terry will present the bill.
.... flat screens have a USB port.....The current flat screens no longer have SCART, an AV input is available. You can even connect a PC (laptop) to it.

Louis Van Ghendt, There is no untruths and everyone knows a USB stick can get damaged/corrupted..they too don't have eternal life..so please keep your derogatory comments to yourself. Thank you

Louis Van Ghendt, And perhaps you should read other posts..not every flat screen has a USB port to plug your USB flashdrive into..but Im willing to bet a great number of folks still have DVD or Blu-ray players.

son and others,

Every time we have software that creates CDs, DVDs, or BluRay discs, we generally have someone question the validity of ... why, ... when clearly in their mind, that technology is dead.

Well today, I decided to check some things out. The developers of such software would surely be the ones that hear the most from customers. Some have forums, and often have a section dedicated for user requests, and some have a ToDo list, RoadMap for future changes, etc. All (and the list is so long that it would take up too much space), of these developers are very busy maintaining the software, improving, and implementing suggestions from users.

No matter what one person's opinion, there seems to be no end to this type of software. One final thing, the next time you are in your local computer supply store, take a look at the blank CD/DVD/BluRay media section. When that section totally disappears and you cannot find the media on Amazon, then you can start to realize that technology is slowing now. It does not seem to have started yet ... at least today!
