Just wondering if PIP works with Windows 10? When I try downloading it McAfee tells me it is a dangerous download full of spyware, viruses and whatnot. Is McAfee being too cautious or is there something amiss with PIP?

I have/had PIP on my old Windows 7 laptop and it worked without any issues, but it died last year and I had no choice but to get a Windows 10 machine. Any help or insight would be appreciated. I want to list a few things for sale and need to be able to post pictures.

Yes, PIP works with windows 10.

I use a program called IrfanView to resize photos, then I use PIP to post them.

Works fine on my two Dell laptops. Both wt Win10. Probably the antivirus being too stringent.

As long as you're downloading PIP from Here, there's no issue whatsoever.

Thanks for the replies! I had to "accept the risks" of downloading PIP, but it's done and I can post pictures again.

McAffee and Norton has many problems including false warnings to DL.

DL PIP then Copy/Paste PIP server link.
many free things can reduce size if needed.

Often PIP needs to "run as admin" every time because of UAC in Vista and up.
Right click pip icon, properties, click admin then ok.

UAC default settings block some functions to start PIP w/o telling you.
Many turn off UAC but not a good idea for most users.
