As you might already have guessed from the name of this application, Free Video Downloader promises users that they will be able to download all of their favorite videos. The program claims to be supporting all the popular formats and should even allow users to preview every single video before downloading it. But it is highly unlikely that you will manage to download even a single video using this application. We must also say that it usually hides the way it comes into users’ devices. It is up to you whether to keep this potentially unwanted application or not. But we think that you will act in the interests of your online safety if you remove Free Video Downloader from your PC.
The first thing connected with this application that caught our attention is its developer’s name.. Aztec Media Inc., the company that launched Free Video Downloader, is known for some highly suspicious applications. We can name a few of them, including the MoviesFanatic.com and TuneFanatic.com browser hijackers. Any security-conscious user will instantly start to worry whether Free Video Downloader is created with suspicious purposes in mind. These worries will increase when you try to download any video file via this application. The video search seems to work well, and you will find YouTube, Dailymotion, Metacafe, and Vimeo videos related to your search queries. However, the download always fails, and you are unable to see any of the wanted videos.
Our suspicions towards this application are supported even more by the fact that Free Video Downloader can provide you with links to third-party websites. The application says that it has no control over those websites or companies that sponsor them. So, why to provide you with those links? As this tool is free to use, it is probably supported by third-party advertisers. They may be trying to promote their products via this program. The third parties may even place those products in the same software bundles with Free Video Downloader to disseminate the applications more widely. In any case, the video downloading tool raises many questions about its reliability.
We believe that you should not allow this utterly useless application to stay on your device any longer. If its developer is responsible for some suspicious search engines, then it is highly possible that Free Video Downloader will be involved in some shady activity as well. At least, you will not be able to download any video via this tool.
We suggest that you scan your system with an official antispyware scanner. Some more unpleasant applications might have come onto your device together with Free Video Downloader. The trustworthy defensive tool will locate and eliminate all of them one by one. Of course, you can take the matter into your own hands and remove the potentially unwanted application yourself. To simplify your task, we have prepared a short guide that describes all the necessary steps you need to implement. Do not hesitate to ask us for a bit of advice, in case you encounter any trouble in the elimination process.
