What are you complaining about? It's free! :-) I sympathize. If you remember a while back, I had what I thought were serious noise and banding issues with the *ist D even at lower ISO's. It turned out Irfanview was messing up the raw conversion. I had been using Irfanview for a little while because I did not have Photoshop on my work system. When I open the images in Photoshop at home they were just fine.
Since then I've viewed Irfanview with a 'you get what you pay for mentality'. It can be really good but I would only use it if I did not have something else available.
