Can convert PS2 game isos dumped from PS3 store to a .chd-compressible format--I've done this with Fire Pro Wrestling Returns (see entry 922) and Sega Ages 2500 Series Vol.20: Space Harrier II (see entry 1844).
 
Used it to rip the audio tracks from the PC Engine's Fire Pro Joshi: Doumu Choujo Taisen ‑ Zenjo vs JWP (see entry 616) so I can use them as bg tracks in Fire Pro Wrestling World (see entry 1555). : )
 
ImgBurn (see entry 1741) was hanging while analyzing track 3--an audio track--of my Seirei Senshi Spriggan (see entry 600) PC Engine disc--and that occurs before read errors, so setting ImgBurn to ignore read errors was useless; but PowerISO seems to have ripped it successfully! It popped up a dialogue asking if it could ignore read errors, I said sure, and the resulting iso is running okay so far in Mednafen. Nice! The ripping procedure is also a bit more straightforward with PowerISO; might switch to using it as my go-to over ImgBurn, not sure yet.

The PowerISO program itself doesn't appear to be malware, but I've had one antivirus program freak out over its installer, which (version 8.8) does ask if you want to install a couple sketchy-sounding other programs during the PowerISO installation process. : P I clicked No.

Oh yeah forgot to uncheck on the new version I downloaded and it installed McAfee and similar junk. : P
