   Beware problems with the browser plug-in options Freemake offers. On ALL my computers, every time I install an update to Freemake video downloader, it completely trashes my Google Chrome settings. Usually Chrome' s sync feature can recover them, but not always. At least once I've had to completely uninstall/reinstall Chrome to get things fixed. Whether this is because I'm on the Chrome developer channel, I don't know, but it sure is annoying.
   
   Also, the latest Freemake version attempts to install even more extraneous toolbars than before.
   
   I'm grateful that Freemake offers a free downloader, but I'd like it a lot better if it were cleaner. My advice: if you install it, decline the browser plug-ins and use the standalone program only. Be aware that checking 'help Freemake improve its products' (or however it's worded) during the installation adds yet another automatic service in Windows ('Freemake improver'), on top of the 'Freemake video capture service' it installs by by default. You might want to decline the 'improve our products' option, or set the installed services to 'manual'.

   Very nice downloader. Very nice GUI, very intuitive.
   
   Do I like the fact it has a system service? No. Does a small system service really hurt anything? No, not enough to downgrade this great free software.
