"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.
