"Works fine for me"
Version: Free YouTube Downloader 3.5.126
Pros
Fast download
Fast convertingCons
Can't do multiple URLS unless you upgrade
If you don't click no to the agreement, you install a toolbarSummary
I also have Avast and it didn't detect any problems. I just clicked no in the agreement and it didn't install that dumb toolbar. It downloads and converts just fine, I haven't had any problems at all with it.

"NO STARS FOR THIS CRAP"
Version: Free YouTube Downloader 3.5.126
Pros
didnt get that far to use
Cons
this programme installed "Babylon" tool bar as my search toolbar...still trying to get rid of it..contacted them and got a reply within 2 hours....still there and will have to take it to a friend to get rid of the damn tool bar....a few expletives in my email to them.....its outrageous that they do this
Summary
steer well clear of this....as the other persons stated that it hijacks your home page and tool bar....
Further to this "Free" programme i also scanned it and found a Trojan using Avast and Adaware....both found it and it definitely was from this. The "Babylon" Tool Bar installed even when i rejected the option and was very hard to remove,,,,if you Google " Babylon Toolbar Removal" you will see the trouble it causes and the problem involved in deleting the tool bar. Its been described as "worse than a virus". It took my friend over 30 minutes to delete it and he is very good....I suggest the CNet review this programme and in the meantime do not purchase any of their products....there is enough negative reviews on here and Google to make you steer well clear of this. Please dont chance it.

"FREE AND A THREAT TO MUST PAY DOWNLOADER"
Version: Free YouTube Downloader 3.5.126
Pros
Install this and be on your way to enjoy the downloads.
Cons
You get a choice not to install the optional toolbar.
Summary
I had Internet Download Manager prior to this Free YouTube Downloader and cause me a lot of time getting rid of it. There is something in Internet Download manager which caused slow downs if the user does not pay up!
Now I am using this software and happy with it.
There is no spyware or virus as alleged by a competitor here. CNET will never distribute it. -

"Possible browser hijacker"
Version: Free YouTube Downloader 3.5.126
Pros
None at all.
Cons
When I went to install the software it changed my homepage without my permission (in fact I told it not to and it still did), and adds a toolbar without permission.
It looks suspiciously like a browser hijacker since it changes your homepage without your permission.Summary

"Very good!!"
Version: Free YouTube Downloader 3.5.126
Pros
Does exactly what you want: downloads music and videos! Very easy to use interface. Downloaded the program, installed it and was downloading in less than 10 minutes.
Cons
Download rate is a little slow.
Summary
After using a few different programs, came across this and won't be looking anywhere else. Quick and easy to install. Does exactly what I want with no fancy bells and whistles.
Be sure to select "Custom install" rather than "quick install" so you don't get all the additional tool bars, home pages, software partner notifications etc.
