Freemake Video Downloader

CNET Editors' review

Freemake Video Downloader is a great free option for downloading videos from the Web and converting them to file types you can use on your favorite devices. The smooth and simple interface couldn't be more intuitive; simply find the video you want to download on the Web, copy the link, then hit the Paste Link button in Freemake Video Downloader to begin downloading. Depending on the original video quality, you'll get options to download the video in different popular formats and various file sizes to fit your needs.

Along with its seamless Web video downloading functions, Freemake Video Downloader offers features that make it easier to use than other programs in the genre. Simple extras, like the ability to play the video straight out of the interface or open the containing folder so you can manage and move files quickly, are time-saving features. It's also important to note that you will need to have Microsoft's .NET Framework 4.0 installed to use this program.

Overall, Freemake Video Downloader is a painless way to download online video. Anyone who wants to keep online videos local or wants to convert video for different devices should check out this software.

    "Comes with delta search hijacker malware. Does not work"

    May 14, 2013  |   By shankara777

    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.
