July 1, 2015
Pros
old versions USED to be great... but now it just doesnt work (since mid 2014).
Cons
Seriously, this does not work in Chrome or Firefox or the standalone version. i assume the developers have abandoned shop.
Summary
doesnt work. AVOID!!! the developers hasnt fixed anything in a whole year!!
complete malware! DO NOT INSTALL! Negative stars.

Pros
Great concept.
Cons
This program will install hijacks on any browser and trash your computer. The early version was great. Then they went over to the dark side.
Summary
CNET should take down this crapware! DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS!
Works great, bad malware

Pros
This recorder works REALLY REALLY well. It has a lot of different options from audio, to video, to Youtube. Your files are nicely put into an easily findable menu system. I used it to record online radio, get clips from a youtube video, capture stuff from my screen.
Cons
Unfortunately the OTHER things that are attached to this free software are a big headache. My computer crashed and I lost Freecorder and I'm not sure if I will put it back on because of horrible little extra stuff that attaches itself to your system. I'd rate it much higher if it wasn't for that.
Summary
It's the best recorder I've seen. I could deal with the malware - I cleaned up most of it - but I will try something else before downloading Freecorder again.
Only if you like spam. It's loaded with it.

Pros
There are none.
Cons
Never before came so much spam from just one install. It installs for every user and every browser. You can get rid of it but it is a LOT of work.
Summary
Garbage. Stay away. This thing is not 'free'. It's amazing this site even posts this program..
Rubiish spyware - avoid at all costs

Pros
Absolutely None
Cons
The previous versions were great but avoid the latest version at all costs - it installs several pieces of Malware that are a real pain to remove

Pros
Don t trick you that recorder is working
Cons
The easy way to uninstall this trojan is except uninstall all freecorder programs also to unintall your browsers and and then reinstall as standalone (so don t forget to download the browsers first as standalone before unintall)
Summary
Danger, Will Robinson!
Magus75November 9, 2013
Pros
The actual FreeCorder part seems to work.
Cons
Malware galore - Did I say it contains Malware?
Summary
Don't install unless you want to spend the next several hours scratching your head wondering why all your browsers have been hijacked and you get all sorts of unwanted popups when clicking links in your browsers. This used to be a decent and trusted app. Sorry to see Applian go this route.
Install only if you like malware/spyware, and toolbars.

Pros
Never got to find out.
Cons
Same as above.
Summary
As others above have said I opted out of all offers presented during installation yet was recipient of a new toolbar and several adware/spyware programs. Appreciate that.
a whole lot of crap comes with it, keep away!
EesgerSeptember 18, 2013
Pros
Didn't get to it, when WinPatrol (Scotty) started barking a lot I quit the install as fast as I could
Cons
installs addware (I needed to at least uninstall 3 different programes), alters starting page of every browser it can find, alters default search engine.. the owrks..
Summary
IF you don;t want your computer messed up, don't install!
i got lucky
