Irfanview Platinum?

[y0himba]

I found a site offering an Irfanview Platinum version. Is this site at all related to or endorsed by Irfan Skiljan (The author)?

Certainly not.

GRRRRR. The only "platimum" is what those slimy thieves hope to invest in with their ill-gotten gains. i don't know what the deal is with that site, but I would not trust anything that I might download there. They could have all sorts of nasty tricks bundled with it. One thing is certain, their motives are anything but pure.
