"Comes with delta search hijacker malware. Does not work"
Version: Freemake Video Downloader 3.5.0.7
Pros
None.
This piece of **** that download.com passes off as a good program will hijack your search engines with malware and you will waste lots of time trying to figure out how to get rid of it all.
If you are unsure just google 1.delta-search spyware and see for yourself what a pain in the ass this has been for so many unfortunate users.
A simple uninstall will not work. You will need to remove all of the other associated junk that is included with this piece of **** and even then you will have to manually change all your internet search settings.
Good luck. You are going to need it.Cons
The program does not work. It does not do what it claims it does.
Summary
The real question for me is why a supposedly reputable website like cnet is associating itself with this piece of crap.
It does not work and contains lots of malware and spyware.
To the idiots at cnet who have a sponsored relationship with the manufacturer, in the spirit of Monty Python, I say this:
I Squeeze my pimples at you. I fart in your general direction. Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries. I wave my private parts at your aunties!
I will never use any cnet related product or service after this experience. You simply cannot be trusted once you put your brand name to complete **** like this. -
"Absolutely Awesome"
Version: Freemake Video Downloader 3.5.0.4
Pros
Have been using this program for about 3 Months and it is the best video down loader with no catches or hidden surprises.And best of all, it really is free.Better than programs that charge you and won't deliver or back up what they claim.(Can you say "Hulu Down Loader"} Does exactly what it says it will do and VERY simple to use. Can't go wrong with this program.
Cons
None Nada Zero
Summary
Don't waste your time on a lot of those other "Free" video down loaders. This is the real deal

"Wow! It really does work. Hula capture perfectly!"
Version: Freemake Video Downloader 3.5.0.4
Pros
Like I said works when other won't. Captured Hula now I can avoid the freaking commercials.
Cons
Not really any. Just make sure you opt out of all the times it asks you if you want to load their toolbar. It asks you about 5 different times but that seems normal nowadays.
Summary
Try it!
-
"holy crap it works"

"This one actually works!"
Version: Freemake Video Downloader 3.3
Pros
Works on HULU!

Slow to download on HULU, and then convert to AVI, however, the converted video is very good quality. You'll just have to have patience.
Summary
A good video downloader for hard to download video files.

"Tried to steal my info"
Version: Freemake Video Downloader 3.4.3
Pros
Very nice product except for the spyware
Cons
It loaded strongvault which is an off-line storage app. When I saw that I went to uninstall it and it told me that another installation was going so I went to task manager and saw two processes running with the admin account I used to install (my normal account is a user, not admin). It had also installed WinPCap which is a tool to map my network.
Summary
An offline storage app, admin processes and network scanner means it was set to take all my stuff.

"Download and Installation of 3.4.3"
Version: Freemake Video Downloader 3.4.3
Pros
Download and installation of 3.4.3 went OK.
Cons
I opted out of the add-ons but it tried to install WAJAM anyway. I cancelled that separate installation when it popped up.
Summary
Always a fine program.

"Always excellent."
Version: Freemake Video Downloader 3.4.0.2
Pros
Great program. It gets better and better.
Cons
This version, 3.4.0.2, has already been superseded by 3.4.1. Don't worry, when you go to use it you will be told a newer version is available. There were only 11 days between versions.
Summary
It is really slick on YouTube downloads now.
