You can read the above mentioned on the flvdirect.com. The web-site claims the software is free, with no viruses or spyware, can download any tube video.

In reality it is a SCAM!!! Do not install the program. It can't download any video, but you will get SPYWARE onto your computer for sure!!!

It hijacks your URL randomly and shows ads instead of real content! There is nothing else that the program can do!!!

Here is a discussion how to remove it (in Russian, but I used google tranlate and was able to get rid of the malware)
