Used to be a good site for downloads… Used to be a good site for downloads but now a total scam site redirecting you to download software you don't need and trying to get you to pay for the full program instead of the free download. AVOID this site

The best! Great stuff. Very convenient site, and free! Also handy for older sofware versions.

In the past In the past, FileHippo.com had been a trusted source for clean downloads of hand-picked software. Well, that's over now! Sadly, they recently joined the trashnet of sites wrapping downloads in adware installers. Called "Download Manager" on their site, it is a wrapper you get instead of the software you actually wanted.

Was looking for a video converter and … Was looking for a video converter and ended up on filehippo. Clicked on the download and then opened file to install. On second screen of custom install i was greeted with the option to complete install with two extra programs i didnt want and there was no option to unselect the unwanted programs so i cancelled the entire install. Or so i thought, the next day i was browsing and going through some personal files when i started getting notifications from an anti malwear id never heard of. Which had installed on my pc without my permission. Whats worse is my premium malwear didnt pick up on it and u didnt even get the program i went to this god forsaken site for in the first place. Avoid this diseased site!

A shadow of its former self FileHippo is not what it used to be. I switched to ninite long ago.
