A few weeks ago we found a number of virus alerts on MiniDVDSoft's products and negative ratings on WOT.   Although somewhat surprised at these findings, I removed our support for their products pending further investigation.   Here's a copy of the email I sent to them ....

Hello, normally we don't contact developers but we thought it best to double check with you in this case.

We had been listing some of your products on our site at www.freewarebb.com although a few reports of viruses and ratings in WOT led us to remove them - a member of staff has raised this with us and wanted to find out more.  In particular, we notice that a virus scan of the following products brought back some suspicious results in VirusTotal.com:

Can you possibly explain why this is the case, if so we would like to reinstate your listings back on our site.
Thanks in advance

Unfortunately, they have declined to respond to our email and I can only therefore assume they don't have an answer, if they did it would make a whole load more sense to tell us about any possible issue's they are facing with false positives from antivirus vendors, but alas they failed to grasp the opportunity and I can therefore only reiterate our stance on withdrawing our support for their products and would recommend anyone using MiniDVDSoft's software thoroughly checks their machine for any signs of viruses or malware.

Tiz a shame indeed Marko, but you can do no more than offer them an opportunity to explain. If they fail to respond then you have no other choice than to act on the information to hand.
