| Recommendation: | |||
| The flashget.exe process is a non-essential system process. If you don't use it for downloading, you can disable it. If you use it, make sure alway check the file location to see whether if it is disguised by virus/trojans. If the file locates in c:\windows or c:\windows\system32 folder, it has security risks to your system. You should then clean it away immediately. | |||

| Some Adware apps report this as a potential risk to be on system or as active. I've used for 4 years and so far any risk depends on the content that is chosen for download via flashget. Be mindful of what you use flashget to download. No problems experienced otherwise. Can siphon off bandwidth from connect speed, is controllable. | |||
