Is the grub2win.com website official and safe too?

I have the same question.
grub2win (dot) com seems fake.
Contact has London address but Pakistan phone number.
App downloaded from this sourceforge, has a link back here.
Help files have no reference.
It would be great to have confirmation.

grub2win.com is not authorized to offer Grub2Win for download.
It is probably a scam site.
The site is currently registered in Reykjavík Iceland by a hosting company - spaceship.com.
I have tried multiple times to contact them. They have ignored all of my requests.
grub2win.com contains documentation with glaring errors, and I fear, malware.
The module they offer for download is my signed copyrighted exe file.
The file is several months old.
You should not download code from grub2win.com.

Hi,
I've downloaded and run the installer from the fake grub2win.com site.
I didn't realize that website is fake until a warning message told me that, and the installer was somehow automatically deleted.
But after I recovered that installer from the fake website I saw it seemed to have a valid signature, so is the installer safe? Should I take additional measure to protect my computer?

Hi,
It seems you are OK for now. As long as the installer is SSL signed by me.
Grub2Win detects and deletes these out-of-date modules and installers downloaded from the fake site.
Beware though, The fake site might start offering malware at any time.
This is beyond my control.
I have initiated a legal process against the site.
The hosting company has been served with a takedown notice.
This process can take several months, particularly when the host is in another country.
