There are a number of very good companies I know of and trust that offer open source versions of their mainline commercial software however, they typically only provide basic functionality. I quite freely (bad pun I know) use software from Mozilla (Thunderbird and Firefox) and other reputable open source software providers. having started out its life on SourceForge. OpenSource software can be free (usually is) but sometimes may charge for the "Pro" version of their otherwise free open source software. There is a clear distinction between OpenSource software and FreeWare. In other words, vet the software object before you condemn it just because it is "free".

It has 25+ years under its belt being used and provided freely. One such software is by David Harris' who produces Pegasus Mail. I can think of many notables that are free and of high quality with no bundling at all. You can't paint all free software with a wide black brush.
#BULLZIP PDF MALWARE PATCH#
You'll find governments take that kind of stance because as Open Source you know the code is trustworthy and the authors will patch it for vulnerabilities. Not just because they are free but because they respond to the public and modify the software to the needs of users as well as patch their software. You should accept the use of Open Source Free Software. One needs to prevent a host of other things, such as PDFArchitect that I know from bad experiences is a bad actor, from installing. And yes, I have learned over the years, especially recently after 2.0 was released, to be particularly vigilante when installing PDFCreator. Note that a number of my colleagues went thru the truly miserable ordeal of having out laptops withat last week. Which is why I agree that it wasn't something as minor as a PUP that our other protection software would have caught.īut oh yes - PDFForge admits that their free version comes bundled with software that is.- according to them.
#BULLZIP PDF MALWARE INSTALL#
They specifically asserted that PDFForge had not created an install file containing malware. Enough that our network security guys noticed it and traced it back. Something that sits there broadcasting away. And that's why they concluded that the executable install file was somehow corrupted at thinstalled with something they called a C2C beacon. Many of us have been using it for nearly 5 yrs with no issue.

That is the price we pay for Free software. There may be a PUP but it is easily excluded from being installed. There is no malware bundled with PDFCreator. Any advice from this forum would be most appreciated.

Need pdf printer software but am not going to shoot myself in the foot again. Low cost like NovaPDFLite may be OK but it's from Romania! Can I trust it? Free is ok if it has a good record of being malware free (pdf24 claims this).
#BULLZIP PDF MALWARE PRO#
Said that their free version includes some software that is mistakenly interpreted as malware (not what this was, given that I've used their free version for many years with no issue, and I trust that our InfoSec folks know their business) and said that if paid for their pro version I'd get software without this what they claimed was a false positive malware. The response from PDFForge when I posted a report about my experience to their forum was horrible. Even tho I'm pretty sure the 2.3 update I installed 2 wks later on my home machine is ok, I decided to strip it completely there too: uninstalled it and then poked thru the registry for anything associated with PDFFORGE and blew it away. Resulted in my company laptop being reimaged (I'm back in operation again btw. So says my company's InfoSec folks who detected that I had what they called a c2c beacon that they traced back to my PDFCreator 2.3 install last March (2016). But definitely do not want to have a repeat of my recent experience with PDFForge PDFCreator release 2.3 last March that was corrupted with malware at the download site.
