"Based on my tests this Duplicate file Finder is not bad"
Version: AllDup 3.3.25
Pros
This software is free
Cons
other software tested a little better in terms of confidence, user friendliness, features and accuracy.
Summary
This Duplicate file Finder software was not bad. I have tested this software with over 20 different other Duplicate file finder softwares on download.cnet.com and I give this software 3.5 stars because other software tested a little better in terms of confidence, user friendliness, features and accuracy. Keep in mind that only 2 of the 20 Duplicate file finder softwares that I tested were better than this software; other Duplicate file finder softwares just failed miserably. In my opinion "DupKiller" and "Fast Duplicate File Finder" tested better than this software. Based on my tests this software did a better job comparing to some "Duplicate file Finders" which were not free. That was very surprising.
In my opinion "DupKiller", "Fast Duplicate File Finder" and "Duplicate Cleaner" tested better than this software.

"Very Shady"
Version: AllDup 3.3.25
Pros
It's tough to assess a program's positives when it installs in as shady a manner as this one does; it leaves the user more interested in uninstalling immediately than testing the product.
Cons
Extremely shady install. First, Online Armor (my current firewall app) reports that AllDup wants to install auto-loaders. That's the first red flag, IMO - what possible use could a simple utility like this have for auto-loading? It shouldn't auto-load anything - it should just sit there like a good little utility and wait for me to use it. But I could've gotten over that. Second, it wants to install a global hook. Again, what business would a simple little utility have hooking into anything else? But again, I could've gotten over that. It was the keylogger that was the deal-breaker. I don't care if it's a false positive from Online Armor - even the appearance of impropriety is enough for me to uninstall this app.
The big German flag at the top of the app's UI should be a clue here - Germans have about as close a relationship with privacy and freedom as Iran has with Israel.Summary
You can be a guinea pig for this app, but I say no thanks.
