"Deftly sidestepped all the malware but further issues!"
Version: Free Screen Video Capture 4.1.7
Pros
Video capture easy and reasonable quality

Audio was of such poor quality I could not use the video. Worse than a mobile phone going out of range.
Summary
1 star. Be prepared to uninstall

"it will not give you a registration key"
Version: Free Screen Video Capture 4.1.7
Pros
It seems easy enough to use
Cons
I downloaded this and it says it is "free", yet when you go to register it, you can fill it out and it says that it will send you a registration key in a few minutes. I tried registering it for a week in a row and nothing.
When you do go to the registration page it asks for a donation.Summary
Do not waste your time downloading this and going through the hassle of giving out your email address and information when they do not reply back. I gave it a one but it should be a zero.

"FAKE Software FULL OF MALWARE!!!!"
Version: Free Screen Video Capture 4.1.7
Pros
None.
Trys to mimic CamStudio to fool you into thinking it is real. RECORDS NOTHINGCons
Full of malware. Changes homepage, adds several toolbars and hijacks your internet searches.

Shame on CNet for allowing this piece of crap software on their site.
I no longer trust CNet for malware free software and you should not either. -
"Only records sound from mic input."
Version: Free Screen Video Capture 4.1.7
Pros
Don't know -- when I found out it wouldn't record the music of an audio visualization playing in Windows Media Player I had no reason to use it.
Cons
Doesn't record music from WMP. Might install malware if you're not careful.
Summary
I suppose it might be ok for stuff like simple tutorials. But it apparently only records audio from mic. Possible malware association.

"I'd rate it 0 if it would let me!"
Version: Free Screen Video Capture 4.1.7
Pros
Simple, seemingly easy to use.
Cons
It did not save my first recording. No error message or anything.
Next the install installs crap on your PC.
Then it changed my home page to some search conduit url.
CNET you need to vet the software on your site better!Summary
Do not download this application. I will install a tool bar you don't need even if you say not to. It will also change your home page even if you say not to.
