Irfanview - Microsoft frightening Windows 10 users not to download it

I'd noticed quite a few MS Forum members praising irfanview and having seen some mentions of it elsewhere here I thought I'd have a look at it. Here's how Microsoft are frightening wannabe irfanview users:

I just used IE11 to download 442_x64 version and Norton and IE show no problems, so I guess it is fixed.

Hi Maureen. I use IE and really have no wish to use Chrome or Firefox so I guess I'm beggared. wink

Hi, go its official site to download it:http://www.irfanview.com/

Realize that it lists 64-bit separately. And don't use IE to download, use Chrome, or other browsers.
