Well, I use the Tucows or Downloads.com sources, and I trust them to
make sure the files are clean.
So far, that trust has not been sullied.

Because Trend Micro alerted me to a Virus and suggested to not
download the file.

Tucows and most of the other sites don't have version 4.2

"Possibly infected" (your second explanation) is not the same as "contain
the virus" (your first bit of FUD).

Maybe because Trend Micro upon download of Irfanview 4.2 reports
it AS A VIRUS which was reported in my first post. If you then follow
the link and read what the virus information is then you get a more
detailed explanation, which was my second post. My posts on this
subject are accurate, but if that upsets you then go ahead and ignore
the info.
