Free version download manager [Closed] - WinXPto10 - 09-25-2014
I want to download iLivid download manager, is it safe?
RE: Free version download manager - GuiltySpark - 09-25-2014
No. Nothing iLivid is safe.
It is essentially a PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program) that will install all kinds of crapware on your system.

I use Download Them All for Firefox, works pretty well, no malware.

I would stay clear of it.

iLivid is a PUP classed and Junkware Potentially Unwanted Program bundled in freeware and downloaded on pirate sites, GuiltySpark hit nail on head.

Being the 21st century I'm not sure of the need of a download manager. Your safe bet is to use your browser of choice chrome/firefox/opera or even IE with a good AV installed. Thread closed to avoid confusion.
If you ever ask yourself should I install this or is this safe the answer is usually no.
