The Fdownloader.info page promotes the Fdownloader application by Igor Moroz as an advanced download manager that can handle your download tasks and allow you to pause and resume downloads. The Fdownloader application may arrive on your PC bundled with a third-party freeware setup, and edit your Windows Registry to become your default download client. You should know that the Fdownloader application is a re-branded version of the Downloadme adware and might cover your screen with pop-ups. Moreover, the Fdownloader application may change your default search aggregator to Search.fbdownloader.com and act as a browser hijacker. Security experts add that the security certificate that the Fdownloader comes equipped with is revoked by security authorities and may connect to the Internet over insecure channels. The Fdownloader application is classified as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) with adware capabilities that may be affixed to your browser as an extension, add-on, and Browser Helper Object. As stated above, the Fdownloader program might edit your Windows Registry values to redirect your download requests to its core module and welcome you to install additional software like Spring Smart and TotalDatingGuide. The programs indicated before don’t have a good reputation and users might want to abstain from installing them. The promotions pushed by the Fdownloader adware may be based on your recently visited pages because Fdownloader may read your Internet history log and record your search terms on Google. The Fdownloader download manager is not likely to be welcomed by many users due to its excessive advertising, and you may want to use a reliable anti-spyware instrument to remove it safely.
