Scam or new version of Irfanview?

[Jiri]

I've been visiting free-codecs website and noticed Irfanview 4.70 in the list of recently downloaded by other users files.

https://www.free-codecs.com/download/irfanview.htm

The last officialy released version on irfanview.com is 4.67.
What is this black sorcery?

[IfThenElse]

In IrfanView click Help > Check homepage for updates and you will answer your question.

Or you could just look directly at the IrfanView site: https://www.irfanview.net/

It's called 'Continued development of IrfanView'
