After reading this guide, you can:

*. Download video files directly from Youtube or other flash video site.
*. You do not need to install any software or extensions.
*. You do not need to view the source code of any webpage.
*. You do not need to learn the long instruction of how to download video with a invalid trick.

Now, let us go! There are only 3 simple steps for downloading videos from Youtube.

1. Go to "http://www.download-abc.com/videodownloader/"
2. Copy the URL of the page where the video in,such as "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=up-RX_YN7yA",paste it into the input area, and click the "DOWNLOAD" button.

Installation

The program installed quickly and easily. When you run it for the first time, it doesn't prompt you to update the signature files, so be sure to click on the "update" button to get the latest version.

Usability

The program is attractive and intuitive. After installing (and updating), click on the "scanner" button to bring up a menu of options, and then select the first option to perform a full system
scan. We found the layout of the user interface to be simple and easy to use. The program provides just the right amount of information in the right places.

Microsoft AntiSpyware Product Review

Giant Company, once known as a maker of anti-spam products for your inbox, hit it big in December, 2004. Microsoft purchased the company and is now planning on embedding it into their yearly subscription PC Tune Up service to address some of the glaring security issues IE and Windows users face.

Will it work? It seems that everything Microsoft touches becomes inherently insecure. In March, hackers created a worm that disabled Microsoft AntiSpyware. That pattern seems to be holding up - our latest test indicates that this program is nowhere near as effective as it was last January.

NoAdware Product Review

With vastly improved search results and customer support, the 4.0 version is now one of the better anti-spyware products on the market and we can safely change our recommendation from "stay away" to "worth a look".

Installation

NoAdware installed without a hitch on both of our test PCs. Immediately after running the software, the program prompted us to download the latest spyware definition files.

Usability

NoAdware has a well-designed user interface that is simple to use. Even the most casual user will have no problem figuring out how to use the software. The graphics problems we experienced with previous version appear to be fixed. One problem we still experience however is that the user interface is a bit sluggish, often taking 15 seconds or more to respond to user input.

McAfee Antispyware provides average protection against spyware. The product sports a beautiful user interface, but has a number of annoying installation and usability quirks. It is more expensive than other products, and McAfee's marketing team takes every opportunity to upsell you on their other software, which results in a product that borders on "adware" itself.

Like other products, McAfee's product will immunize your computer against common invaders, such as browser hijackers, unwanted search bars, and pop-up advertising programs. We discovered no problems on either Windows XP or Windows 2000, unlike some of the other products which caused serious browser slowdowns on Windows XP.

ZeroSpyware 2005 Product Review

FBM Software's ZeroSpyware 2005 sports perhaps the most flashy and attractive user interface of any anti-spyware program we saw. The overall effectiveness is quite good as well, although the usability is marred with far too many pop-up alert windows. A very nice feature of the program is the embedded links to online support built directly into the user interface.

Like other anti-spyare programs, ZeroSpyware 2005 will immunize your computer against common invaders, such as browser hijackers, unwanted search bars, and pop-up advertising programs. We discovered no problems on either Windows XP or Windows 2000, unlike some of the other products which caused serious browser slowdowns on Windows XP.

Adaware Review

Adaware SE, the latest update to adaware's flagship product, is a good product that provides decent protection against many spyware programs, but lacks some important functionality such as the ability to schedule scans. The user interface is difficult to use and might appeal more to people comfortable with computers.

It can detect spyware programs running in memory, examine startup settings, block browser hijackings, remove tracking cookies, and fix registry changes made by intruding programs. It can also remove stubborn spyware by flagging it for deletion (before it loads) during the next bootup cycle.

Adware

These advertisements may be displayed in many forms, including, but not limited to, pop-up, pop-under, and banner advertisements. Adware may slow your Web browser's performance.
