    yo, dis is def a virus. I mean, my pc is high on something

  • THREATrating from user M for file %PROGRAMFILES%\Freemake\CaptureLib\capturelibservice.exe (Variant: 3051703)

    Fact is it is useless to me so it must be working for someone else. That's not acceptable, it's my computer, my information ...

  • THREATrating from user mike for file %PROGRAMFILES%\Freemake\CaptureLib\capturelibservice.exe (Variant: 14224268)

    Because Freemake Video Downloader works with no obvious problems, when CaptureLibService.exe is killed from Task Manager, or deleted from its folder, on WinXP or Win7, makes it suspect in my mind. As it appears not essential then I believe it should be renamed or deleted. It would be good if Freemake authors were to clarify why this program runs even when Freemake Video Downloader has not been started. I installed Freemake VD without any of the included 'extras'

  • THREATrating from user Alex for file %PROGRAMFILES%\FREEMAKE VIDEO DOWNLOADER\CAPTURELIB\capturelibservice.exe (Variant: 14907241)

    I have a 6 core at 2.8ghz. After installing freemake downloader, my cpu was always at 100% and capturelibservice was using about 90% of it. My computer was super slow so i killed it and i still can download videos and my computer is just like before.

  • THREATrating from user Marc for file %PROGRAMFILES%\FREEMAKE VIDEO DOWNLOADER\CAPTURELIB\capturelibservice.exe (Variant: 14907241)

    My PC was running at 50% CPU utilization on a dual as soon as it would boot. Even after an hour of just leaving it alone the winlogon.exe process was taking up 50% CPU. This is a system process so I guessed some other process must be causing this problem. After a lot of googling and research, for no particular reason, I killed capturelibservice.exe - the CPU usage went down to 2%! Installing Freemake products (converter and downloader), while being great free programs, always make me feel insecure and as though it contains some kind of spyware/malware.

  • THREATrating from user adsf for file %PROGRAMFILES%\FREEMAKE VIDEO DOWNLOADER\CAPTURELIB\capturelibservice.exe (Variant: 14907241)

    I've caught capturelibservice using excessive amounts of my cpu while no freeware applications were open. Up to about 85% of my dual core intel cpu was being used. After uninstalling freemake video downloader it dropped down to about 20% which is expected when listening to pandora and downloading a large file(6,176 megabytes or about 6 gigabytes). Either something does not work properly here or there are some shenanigans going on.

  • THREATrating from user edoblaster for file %PROGRAMFILES%\Freemake\CaptureLib\capturelibservice.exe (Variant: 3051703)

    Freemake video downloader doesn't require this capturelibservice : I've just tried now by disactivating this service on Win XP, then launching Freemake video downloader and it download on youtube normaly ! This freemake package seems very suspicious ! Why having to instal a capturelibservice when it's not used by the video downloader !!!

  • THREATrating from user Remington for file %PROGRAMFILES%\Freemake\CaptureLib\CaptureLibService.exe (Variant: 3051703)

    For some reason this process tried to access the network when I've turned on xChat-WDK (IRC Client). I do not understand why as I've installed it with Freemake Video Downloader (along with winpcap) so I don't get why it does connect while FVD is not even launched. Moreover, FVD had pretty much requests to access different connections, files and even secured COM port (quite unusual). As I can't find any reliable info about this process I mark it as Thread, for safetly.

  • THREATrating from user Undefined for file %PROGRAMFILES%\Freemake\CaptureLib\CaptureLibService.exe (Variant: 3051703)

    J'ai laissé tourné mon ordinateur toute une nuit pour télécharger quelquechose. Résultat, je me lève et un certain "capturelibservice" me prend 99% processeur et j'ai eu du mal à le fermer tellement il faisait ramer mon ordi. Pour moi ce n'es pas un processus fiable... ----------------- I left my computer turned all night to download something. Result, I get up and a "capturelibservice" takes me 99% CPU and I struggled to close it so it did slow down my computer. For me, this is not a good process ...

  • SAFErating from user flash for file %PROGRAMFILES%\Freemake\CaptureLib\CaptureLibService.exe (Variant: 3051703)

    It seems that the free tool called "Freemake Video Downloader" from freemake.com installs quite a bit in the background. There's this capturelibservice.exe and then there's also a Winpacp, which is a tool/library to capture network traffic. At least this service is always on in the background, even when the Video Downloader isn't even running. On my PC it goes from 10 to 30 MB of RAM usage with no activity from the Video Downloader at all. It's possible that the tool is doing some hidden work, maybe based on the amount of network traffic, because we shouldn't see such large deviations during an idle period.
