EZ YouTube Video Downloader is a browser add-on that, at first glance, seems very useful, the reason being that it allows you to download YouTube videos very easily. It can get installed on Google Chrome as well as Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox. Once installment is complete, you will find a downloading button on the YouTube website that makes it easier to save data on the website. When you click on this button, a downloading format list is displayed that includes FLV or 240p, 3GP or MP4, and many more.
Even though EZ YouTube Video Downloader seems like a practical and useful application, it is considered an adware program. It’s actually an unwanted program that, when downloaded, can come with another free program that’s capable of installing dubious programs.

Whatever you do, don’t click on these ads; otherwise you risk installing other untrustworthy programs. That’s why, in order to avoid any trouble, it’s recommended to remove EZ YouTube Downloader from your computer as soon as possible.
