Quick Software Questions

Ok, to start off I know that Mac malicious software is very rare, but I had a quick questions as I have always been a sketch ball. I was setting up my external LightScribe CD drive, and I downloaded the LSS files from this link (LightScribe - Downloads - Mac). The file download as a .tar, so I extracted it to find a .pkg. I installed this, and it seemed kind of fish as to when I searched my HD for "Lightscribe" nothing showed until I installed the Label software. It said the LSS software "gives the computer lightscribe capabilities." Does this seem fishy to anyone? Could this be any sort of malicious file? Thanks in advance for any replys.

Well I downloaded the file and installed it onto my computer and like yourself I couldn't find what it installed onto the computer.

I looked into it a bit and they say that the file is used for people who can't acquire a update.

Doesn't seem to me like a malicious file to me but you never know.

So your OK with it?

Yes its okay if what your saying is that you downloaded the file off the website then installed it, Then set up the actual Lightscribe. Then I wouldn't worry because the download on the website was designed to activate the actual lightscribe product and is not the actual product itself.

No if you got everything set up and it was working and then you installed that downloaded file then maybe not because the website says the file is "Required to enable LightScribe functionality"

Yeah I just went to the website, installed my LSS, then the actual label software, and then burned my CDs. I was just wondering if all was well. Thanks!

No problem man Im here to help
