Free Ultra Video Editor is not free--if you value your privacy and want a computer free of malware, adware, and spyware. I think most people are so accustomed to just clicking "Yes" or "I agree" in the license agreement section of the software installer that they don't read the thing at all. I almost did that when installing "Free Ultra Video Editor." I'm glad I read the EULA before installing the program.
The installer doesn't just install a freeware video editor/converter. It also installs on the user's computer what is, for all intents and purposes, a Trojan Horse that monitors and transmits back to its creator information about which Web sites you visit, activity on each and every Web site, personal data, and who knows what else. I don't know about others, but I do my banking online, too; and the last thing I want on my machine is a program that records and transmits to persons unknown my log-in information for my bank account, utility account, phone service account, and every other business transaction that I make online.
Freeware is FREEware. If it collects personal data and transmits it to people and destinations unknown, then it is MALware and SPYware, not FREEware. Free Ultra Video Editor fits all those categories and should be considered to be a Trojan Horse by definition.
