VAFDownloader

The VAFDownloader browser extension is developed on the Crossrider platform and may be compatible with the major Web browsers like Google Chrome, Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox. The VAFDownloader extension can be found at www.Vafdownloader.com and is promoted as a download manager similar to DownThemAll that is available for Firefox users. The VAFDownloader extension is said to follow four principles that are:

• Easy configuration;
• Fast downloads;
• Multitasking;
• Secure software;

According to the Showsiteinfo service, the VAFDownloader extension was very popular in January 2016 and didn’t begin declining in popularity until March 2016 when its installer was brought down. Users that are interested in VAFDownloader cannot download it anymore unless they acquire a freeware bundle that contains the VAFDownloader extension. The VAFDownloader extension is deemed as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) by most AV programs. VAFDownloader is considered as a PUP because it may be packed with riskware such as FunMoods, SweetIM and the Claro LTD Toolbar — the last being an adware. PC users that installed the VAFDownloader download manager with the 'Express' or 'Typical' option ended up with several unwanted toolbars in their browser and numerous ads on their screen. Additionally, the VAFDownloader program may show pop-ups loaded with content from www.Filezooms.com and www.Safedls.com that are blacklisted by filters like Websense and are marked as corrupted sites.

Computer users should take into consideration the bad reputation of VAFDownloader and may like to reconsider installing it. The VAFDownloader application may help you download several files simultaneously and put tasks on pause to save your Internet bandwidth. However, the VAFDownloader app is not as secure as advertised and you may want to remove it as soon as possible. You can use a trustworthy anti-spyware utility to remove VAFDownloader and delete residual data it may leave on your machine.
