Seems to Work perfect on Vista SP1

Wizzer at Colour4Free on 2009-09-07 12:06

Tried most of the icon editors listed and found that the application works in XP SP3 and Vista.
I confirm that placing aicon.ini in the application folder works.
The small size and with all the basic tools needed to extract, convert format and save, with a GUI that is intuitive and easy to learn how to use, means that this software is highly recommended.

When you click the download link, a page opens with the download, just un-check the "Use our download manager and get recommended downloads" box. You'll get the zip file that you want. My Avast keeps blocking the site/file so I just disabled. After download I checked using VirusTotal and comes up clean.

Links to Download and to website are broken.
Softpedia does not have it.
I found a couple of websites offering ToYcon v.07, all loaded with malware (detection rate by virustotal: around 30%)

Website and download links seem to be broken.

Thanks, Emka. The download link points to http://web.archive.org/web/20110204080136/http://icofx.ro/anifx/files/anifxpe.zip now. I've also added a mention to the PA.c version.
When IcoFX went payware, cursors edition capabilities were added to it. Probably, that's the reason why AniFX was killed.
