Top Free alternative to Internet download manager(IDM)


IDM or Internet download manager is a paid software for downloading . It has many attractive fe
also very popular. But you know its paid software. So lets put some light on some Free IDM alter
which are not getting popular because People think that only IDM is the best and there should
alternative to IDM (well they are wrong). So I am going to share all top 10 free IDM alternatives w
description.

                                 :::::::::::::::::Eagleget::::::::::::::::: 

                       Whenever a download manager claims that it can increase your downloading speed to 500% or 6 times, it is actually comparing it to the download speed that you may get when you download a file within your browser or without help of any download manager. So this claim can't be altogether falsified because no matter your speed has increased to 500% or not, a download manager always help you to get the highest possible speed that is somewhat reduced if you download something within your browser.
                  One good download manager can be the solution to all your downloading issues. So far IDM or Internet Download Manager is the only program that can perform as it should. If you ask people about any good download manager, they will certainly recommend you this IDM. But in order to enjoy IDM fully, you have to buy it and it may cost your around $25.
There are a lot of free download managers available but these are unable to perform the same or lack the simplicity and easiness of user interface. Of course there are OTHER ways to get IDM but why go through these channels when we can enjoy the same experience legally.
I am talking about this free download manager that you may haven't heard of till now. It performs same and in some cases, better than IDM. It has this unique and eye-catching interface that you will ever see.You can Download it from  here.

It has features similar to IDM. For example,(Found on main site)

  • Accelerate downloads by using multi-threaded technology. 
  • Download online videos from popular sites. 
  • Optimized for HD and HTML5 web videos. 
  • Built-in Video Sniffer. 
  • Support MMS, HTTP, HTTPS, FTP and RTSP protocols. 
  • Support HTTP and SOCKET proxy. 
  • Batch downloads function. 
  • Support fully customized User-Agent. 
  • Automatic refresh expired download address. 
  • Download files in Chrome, IE, Firefox and Opera with one click. 
  • Download different file types to separate folders. 
  • Monitor running and completed tasks with Task Monitor.
  • Built-in download scheduler. 
  • Supports drag-and-drop to rearrange the priority of downloads. 
  • Automatic run virus scan after download. 
  • Convenient task properties panel. 
  • Detailed connection log for each task. 
  • Verify integrity of downloaded files. 
  • Shutdown, hibernate or sleep computer after completing all transfers. 
  • Built-in speed limiter. 
  • Silent Mode (or Game Mode) function. 
  • Import download lists from other download managers. 
  • Supports multi-language interface (up to 20 languages).

This is what you will ever see in Eagle Get.

Here is what its main interface looks like.

It has a floating notifier that tells your about the total download speed and number of items being downloaded. So you don't have to open the main download manager window to view the collective status of downloading.

It supports all the modern browsers with its own plugin. So you don't have to manually add the links to download something.

Once again, same as IDM, whenever a media file is detected on the page, a download button will appear.

So if you want a decent download manager will all the features BUT without any cost, Eagle Get is the right choice.

Free  virus scanner and remover (Microsoft Safety Scanner):
   
      The Microsoft Safety Scanner is a free downloadable security tool that provides on-demand scanning and helps remove viruses, spyware, and other malicious software. It works with your existing antivirus software

 Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner expires 10 days after being downloaded. To rerun a scan with the latest anti-malware definitions, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again
  The Microsoft Safety Scanner is not a replacement for using an antivirus software program that provides ongoing protection.
  •         download Microsoft Safety Scanner here


     For real-time protection that helps to guard your home or small business PCs against viruses, spyware, and other malicious software, download Microsoft Security Essentials.
Windows inbuilt security options.
         Microsoft windows 8 contains the following security options.
1) Windows Defender : It is a anti virus and anti spyware inbuilt option only in windows 8 .windows 7 does not contain windows defender they need to download Microsoft security Essentials clich here to downloadis much more than the anti-spyware solution we used to know. It’s more like a full-featured security product capable of protecting your computer from many more types of threats.

Basically, the new Windows Defender is a rebranded Microsoft Security Essentials, so the built-in app has turned into an antivirus product that also comprises anti-spyware protection. It’s packed with features designed to protect your files from malicious attempts, so it also detects viruses and other types of malware.

The interface is also new and the app comes with many more configuration options which, for the average Joe, might be a bit confusing. It’s not however rocket science to set up the app, but the standard settings should get the job done in any circumstances.

Windows Defender is installed by default on all Windows 8 computers and, once the OS is activated, it receives definition updates just like any other antivirus product on the market. It runs in the background and detects a malicious file as soon as it lands on your computer, but you can also initiate a scan all by yourself.

The new Windows Defender is a rebranded version of Microsoft Security Essentials, so it comes with antivirus-specific options such as real-time protection.


The very interesting fact is that Windows Defender is automatically disabled once you install a third-party security app on your Windows 8 machine. As you can see in the screenshot, we deployed ESET’s NOD32 antivirus and Windows Defender was switched off entirely.

Still, it’s very important to note that Windows Defender cannot be removed from your computer, so, as soon as you remove the third-party security app you previously installed, Microsoft’s tool comes back in action.

ESET’s security expert has said that many computer manufacturers are expected to disable Windows Defender and install a third-party security app on your newly-purchased computer. Most of them rely on trials however, in an attempt to convince you to buy the full product.

If that’s your case too and you wish to simply get back to the built-in Windows Defender, it’s enough to remove the pre-installed product and reboot your machine. Windows Defender should be reinstated automatically.

A Microsoft representative has told us that Windows Defender cannot be removed, so the only thing computer manufacturers can do is disable the software in order to deploy another security product.


2)Firewall: Windows Xp,7 & 8 comes with inbuilt firewall protection.No need of external software to Firewall protection.
3) Windows smart screen: This is not a  inbuilt tool in windows xp and windows 7 and it is a tool specifically developed by Microsoft to protect your computer from running unrecognized apps and files downloaded from the Internet. This means that whenever you wish to launch a downloaded file, the SmartScreen shows up and prompts you to give your approval and continue the loading processOnly minimum user knowledge is required to successfully configure this option, but it’s worth mentioning that by default, the app is set to request administrator approval before running an unrecognized app from the Internet.


The Windows SmartScreen tool comes with only three options, so beginners should be able to configure it without too much effort.


You can however switch to get a warning before running an unrecognized app without a request for administrator approval or to completely turn off the feature.

While this is indeed a great feature, you should keep in mind that some info is sent to Microsoft about the files and the apps you run on this PC. The information is then used by the Redmond-based company to improve the SmartScreen feature and help protect the other Windows 8 computers out there.

The new Windows Defender
is much more than the anti-spyware solution we used to know. It’s more like a full-featured security product capable of protecting your computer from many more types of threats.
