Also, the Cnet's download page has some comments stating that the software has malware.
Has anyone used a similar software? I am looking for alternatives. How do you guys create gifs for say Tutorials etc?
Thanks in advance for your time.
>I thought I had tested both but it turns out I must have tested the one from gifcam.net three times instead of the third time being the bahraniapps.com one. If you downloaded the file from bahraniapps.com (the link in the creator's post), you should be okay.
An important distinction and reason to only download from the creator rather than an unaffiliated 3rd party. I also wouldn't download from CNet (untrustworthy place full of malware IMO) as I imagine gifcam.net is the one who submitted the download there. Although I don't take him for his word - it's important that he is aware of the issue and suggests to only download it from his official page.
>Note: GifCam comes free from any harmful/adware software. I found some websites hosting GifCam and bundling it with malware/adware/toolbars..make sure to get it from this official webpage latest version 5.0.
GifCam from bahraniapps is fine, I've been using it, and nothing has ever shown up in any of my scans.
