Advertiser's toolbar needs installing to activate dupK
wwjd_andyApril 4, 2012
Pros
It was good in the past..
Cons
Advertiser's toolbar needs installing to activate dupK
Summary
This was an effective programme in the past, even if the interface was tricky to get used to, but now you need to install the advertisers toolbar if you want to proceed with installing dupkiller. I've gone for a highly rated alternative and recommend you do too.
This is the best Duplicate file Finder on this website
TommyLarsonFebruary 18, 2012
Pros
Very accurate and best of all it is free
Cons
I don't know yet
Summary
After comparing this software with other Duplicate file finder softwares on download.cnet.com, I am 100% sure this is the best Duplicate file finder software I found. Why pay for a Duplicate file finder software when you could get a better software for free? I have tested this software with over 20 different other Duplicate file finders and this software is by far the best one. I'm surprised this software is not on the top of the list! This product is free and it works better than some "Duplicate file Finder" softwares that you have to Purchase.
Excellent product

Pros
Lots of options / very flexible Easy to use Already deleted over 5 GB of duplicate MP3s Searching when matching by filename, date or size is very fast Uses about 10 MB of RAM to run
Cons
Searching when matching by content is a double-edged sword. Using quick comparison makes the search faster, but misses some duplicates. Searching without quick comparison takes forever (88 hours for 26,000 files). Limited to exact matches. Can't match audio tracks if different bit rates or codecs are used (and the file names are different).

really fast
verogabriOctober 15, 2008
Pros
Impression about velocity: it take few second to check more than 20Giga of mp3 on a usb external disk. I like interface with a lot of option to make search.
Cons
Impossible to make multiple select on duplicate result file: it need cancel one by one. That's not very nice when you have a lot of duplicate file
Summary
Good Program though Not The Easiest to Use.
HeinekoAugust 21, 2008
Pros
The software is useful and seems to be relatively fast.
Cons
It is not the easiest to navigate.
Summary
Be VERY Careful.

Pros
Cons
Like all such programs it leaves it up to you to pick and choose which files to delete. Being a novice I don't dare delete any, for obvious reasons. Unless your an expert stay away from this one.
Summary
Great!
davewolfgangOctober 10, 2006
Pros
I don't know what that other guy was talking about, but maybe he clicked something wrong in the options. You can select specific folders as deep as you want to go, and set the search and compare options for each item you have checked. Very versatile! Quick install and once opened, the options are very self explainitory and clear. They can be set as basic as you want or as detailed as you want.
Cons
This program is not for the average computer user, but for the above average professional/expert. It's very simple, but you need to know what the terms mean so you know what the program is doing, and can do! And it can do a lot.

No Way to Scan Less than Drive
nospam626August 22, 2006
Pros
Cons
I installed it and it came up. <p> <p>I wanted to scan a directory. However I could not find a way to say scan a single directory and subdirectory. Only an entire drive. <p> <p>I limted the search to .jpg images. I searched my drive. It found some 20,000 jpg files. <p> <p>After over an hour the progress bar is barely to the 15 % point and I have to go to bed. The job will obviously take hours. <p> <p>Scanning an entire drive isn't what I need to do. I need to be able to scan subsets, where I know my duplicates are. <p> <p>I had to shut down my computer and don't what the results of the program would have been.
