Warning
As described on VirusTotal comment (https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/1ddb733efb11769a05cc735d555e9a4df92c4cdf29fa47ea3864e57e67dcf884/analysis/1411383540/): if you download CamStudio from SourceForge.net, the VirusTotal results are 0/53. After installing this SF version, it immediately says that there is an update available. When the link is clicked, it takes you to camstudio.org, which has a zip file that, scanned with VirusTotal, gives you 15/53 result. So do NOT download and install the "update": it's a malware. Installer as of 09/22/2014.

Comments and Reviews
Easy to use and reliable. It's a real shame that it can't draw from on machine audio and microphone at the same time, because if it could it would be perfect. If it's usage does not require "In-game" audio being accompanied by running commentary, I'd recommend this software to anyone.
It does have malware.
This software very rarely gets updated. It's better to use free Bandicam or Snagit.
Real website is https://camstudio.org/ it is NOT originally from sourceforge so STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT MALWARE!!!!
Invariably, if camstudio points to an infected update, then camstudio itself is suspect and should not be downloaded as many will click on the update. camstudio on sourceforge should be flagged.
it is discontinued
So I switched to ShareX. But good point for CamStudio is low CPU load in process of recording. It not spin up notebook fan.
Malware can be avoided hten installing.
