CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This freeware program helps tame your list of bookmarked sites with a nice set of tools to manage links.
AM-DeadLink's interface is packed with options, but tool tips and a logical layout make it easy to follow. The length of the verification process depends on the size of your Favorites list, but the wait wasn't bad in our tests. You can sort results by any of the columns, which include name, status, URL, and folder categories. You also can delete entries one at a time or by the group.
The Backup option is a welcome safeguard that allows you to easily restore your original list in case you get too delete-happy. You can open links in a new browser window if you want to verify results or investigate those with error codes, but AM-Deadlink also has a handy Internal Preview option that allows you to open the link without leaving the program. You can dress up your bookmarks with the option to download FavIcons, making it easier to distinguish one link from another.
The program supports Internet Explorer, Firefox, Mozilla, and Opera. AM-Deadlink is a solid choice for any user looking for a comprehensive (and no-cost) way to manage bookmarks.

Version: AM-DeadLink 3.3
"Get rid of outdated bookmarks and duplicate favorites"
Pros: Great tool for maintaining your collection of web addresses which you intend to revisit at some point.
There are two main planks, finding duplicate bookmarks / favorites in your collection, and if you use more than one browser - i.e. firefox and internet explorer, finding and deleting the duplicates between those two collections.
The second plank is checking that the pages are still in existence. You can set tthe number of times to try, and select the failed attempts for another change some hours later. This works well.
Cons: Weak point is that Firefox 3 uses a different approach to bookmarks, and that AM deadlink is not yet able to write the bookmarks back as it does with Opera and Internet Explorer, and used to d wit hFirefox in incarnation 2.
There are some hints in the help file how to get around this, but for me it would help if there was a clear seven-step plan do this - now do that, which includes renaming the existing file so you can rename it back if the result is not satisfactory.

Version: AM-DeadLink 3.3
"Does not work with Mozilla Freezefox"
Pros: It has problems with Freezefox complicated, bloated and time consuming bookmarking system. However, it works really well with the much simpler IE Favourites system and the other browsers.
Cons: As usual Mozilla Freezefox makes program difficult to use, only because they want you to use their own.
Summary: Ok with other browsers, but not Firefox.

Version: AM-DeadLink 3.3
Pros: Nice, free, quick little program that gets the job done fast. I was able to check all the 404's before deleting and it was 100% on. Nice job!
Cons: Not really a con, per se, since the Firefox 3 workaround is given, but a direct-edit option for Firefox would be nice.
Summary: Does one thing, and does it really well. And for free to boot!
