    This program has Malware in it.

    Tried this some versions ago, found it to be constantly intrusive, could not turn it OFF or get it to obey the many exclusions I applied to it in Settings, so I had to disable it for good. If the devs of this program could truly make this app behave in an On Demand mode as opposed to the always On Access way in which it did function, then they might really have something here. Until and unless that happens, I’m not very keen on trying it again.

    From our FAQ:

    2. My Anti-Virus detects malware, blocks software from running and triggers a virus alert for AntDM. Do you distribute malware?
    There are numerous comments of our users who write about the blocking of our software by their Anti-Viruses. They often think that we are distributing malware.These alarm messages of Anti-Virus programs is called False Positives.

    The 90s passed, at that time users were infected their PC with getting the software. Currently, if we distribute the malware, Google will quickly block our site and guys in uniform will come to our home!Now one of the main ways to infect your computer is to install the exploit on the hacked sites that you visit daily. This happens imperceptibly and anonymously.

    We do not have the ability to install several dozens of anti-virus software to test our software. Instead, we are testing a release build on a popular resource virustotal.com designed for such purposes. If the tests pass without false positives or with a minimum number, then a new version of AntDM is released.

    Thank you for understanding!

    From our FAQ:

    Too intrusive.
    – Disable video\audio capture. Turn ON it only when you want to capture a video or an audio file.
    – Disable the extension. It will not bother you and take up browser resources.Turn ON if will be necessary.

    – You can turn off the video capture notification for Video Box (IE, Firefox) and show it only if you want to download the video (audio).

    – If you only want to capture video then clear field “Automatically start downloading the following file types” and your browser will download other files by itself.
    – If you only want to capture only certain types of files then list them in field “Automatically start downloading the following file types”.

    These recommendations will significantly reduce annoying software notifications.

    Ant Download Manager Pro 1.13.2 extensions are not being installed in any of the browsers (Chrome, Firefox, MS Edge). (They are simply not available in the extensions. I did a custom install which should have installed them as well as the full install.)

    Thanks you Mr. Boss Ashraf! I suspect the Malware warning is another case where they are using a public domain or open source compiler to compile the software, that seems to flag software as malware a lot of time. Or perhaps it could be connection codes in the scripts. Either way, I will pass on this software but will say that I have tried it in the past and had no issue’s.

    I would recommend Xtreme Download Manager which is free instead. It works great! https://sourceforge.net/projects/xdman/

    Thanks for the offer Ashraf. This is a better FREE alternative though, and doesn’t get flagged for malware either.

    better alternative

    Thanks. I have installed this latest giveaway version, and set a bunch of Config options for it. It looks like you may have made significant changes / improvements since my unsatisfactory experiences with a prior version, some time ago. I will let you know if I encounter any problems, this time. What I’m hoping for is to have this be one more available tool in my “downloading toolbox.” I happen to run multiple browsers — because they each have notable strengths and weaknesses compared to each other, and a single browser is just not sufficient these days. For example, I like the display and print performance of Opera: it tends to show or print out (or optionally Save to PDF) entire web pages or articles that might come out severely truncated in the other browsers, and in so doing it provides a much better pagination preview.

    I may choose to enable ANT DM integration in certain of these browsers (some of which are portable app versions), but not in others. I want Ant to do its thing when called upon, but not automatically all of the time. There happens to be an older browser extension download manager which has been super reliable that I favor for use in FireFox, as well as specialized video sniffer and download tools I use such as TubeDigger. If one does not succeed with a particular task, another one likely will. That has been my experience. It is very important for me to keep these various tools available but peacefully coexisting, rather than clashing with each other. Program settings should allow that to happen. Hopefully this will be possible with your recent version.

    I don’t recall if WinPcap was included with the older version of Ant that I tried, but — if it is still a necessary or desirable component — it looks like I’d have to install that separately now.
