Ilivid Download Manager Old Version

[Carol Gudes]

TheMalwarebytes research team has determined that ilivid is a PUP bundle installer. These so-called "bundles" install various types of potentially unwanted programs on your computer, usually including toolbars, hijackers and adware.

As you can see below the full version of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware would have protected you against the ilivid bundle. It would have warned you before the bundler could install the potentially unwanted programs, giving you a chance to stop it before it became too late.

We've already told you plenty of times before. Despite the almost endless amount of videos we can watch on YouTube and similar portals, there are still people willing to download videos from the Internet to be able to enjoy them without a connection. That's why there are dozens of video or youtube downloaders, as is the case of aTube Catcher for Windows or TubeMate for Android. And to this group of programs, we also have to add the possibility to download iLivid for PC, short for Internet Live Video Download Manager.

Well, just like the two above-mentioned programs or others of the likes of KeepVid or xVideoServiceThief, this is yet another video download manager to download audiovisual contents from YouTube and other similar sites, with the advantage of incorporating its own built-in multimedia player and loads of customization options. These are some of its most noteworthy features and functions:

Using the application is as simple as pasting the links of the videos in the text field enabled for such purpose and hitting the Download button. In just a few seconds, depending on the speed of your connection, you'll have your favorite videos saved on your PC.

Despite the popularity it reached a few years ago, we're sorry to say that iLivid no longer exists as such. You might find its iLividSetup installation file lying around some hidden corner of the Internet, but if you try to launch it won't be able to access the program's former servers to download the files required. Its developers have decided to put a full stop to a project that gained a bad reputation due to the alleged malware or viruses it contained.

We can't talk exactly about malware, but when we installed the program, several toolbars for our browser also installed. On the one hand, they slowed down our browsing experience and the access to web pages, and on the other, according to several computer security firms, they gathered personal information that could later end up in the wrong hands. Therefore, it became a software that was not at all recommendable or desirable.

So, the question how to download iLivid? might not be the most appropriate because, as we've already said, it doesn't work any longer. In fact, if you've still got this video download manager on your PC, whether a Windows 10 or a previous version of Microsoft's operating system, the best question you can ask yourself is how to remove or uninstall this program?.

Here there's no possible discussion. When this program worked, and leaving out the toolbar factor, we could still argue about the advantages and disadvantages of using one application or the other, which are really quite different: whilst the former offers us the possibility to download videos straight from our favorite Internet sites (YouTube, Dailymotion or Metacafe) and direct download sites of the likes of RapidShare, Hotfile or FileServe, the latter provides us with download by means of the P2P protocol, not only of videos, movies and series, but almost any file. But nowadays, with the shutting down of this software, it's quite clear that the application based on the torrent network is the winner.

The original DOS SimCity runs fine in DosBox except the the sound. The sound effects are just a bunch of garbled noize. Nothing like what it is spose to be. Also DosBox works just fine the way it is (sound is ok) on all the other DOS games I have. My os is Win7 home 32bit. I figured it mite be helpfull to past in the configuration file.

I downloaded v0.74 and I still have the same problem with the sound. I also don't have any sound problems in any of my other dos games. I don't know if this has any refrence to the problem. But I start all My DOS games with the same type of bat file below

The 1st part (c:\dosbox\dosbox.exe -c "cycles auto" -c "mount c c:\games" -c "c:" -c "cd dgames") up to the last directory change is the same in all the bat files. Only the last directory change and the exe file it self are unique to each bat file. This way of fast starting the DOS games with the bat files has served me well over the years.

Well, whatever floats your boat, as they say, but really there are much more elegant ways (namely using the "autoexec" section of your dosbox.conf). If nothing else, please note that "cycles auto" is already set in your configuration file and is completely redundant. Also note that -c "cd dgames" -c "cd monsterb" can be combined as -c "cd dgames\monsterb".

Thank you for the stream lining notes on my bat files. I never new about the "autoexec" part of the dosbox.conf. How does it work? Do I make a separate dosbox.config file for each game? As for SimCity it is a download. The original floppy disks have long since goten lost

Much like it says at the bottom of dosbox.conf, lines in the "autoexec" section are run at startup. You can make a separate dosbox.conf for each game, but in your case it may be useful to use the autoexec section for commands that are common for each of your games (such as the "mount" and "c:" commands) and use "-c" parameters for unique commands. (I'm pretty sure that works.)

Supprt for illegally downloaded games is limited in this forum. If nothing else, since your copy did not originate from the original disks, there is no way of knowing whether the copy you downloaded is inherently corrupted and accordingly it is pointless trying to troubleshoot the problem. You could perhaps ask whoever runs the site where you downloaded the files.

And yes, downloading copyrighted software is illegal, this game was never released as freeware, and the fact that it is 20+ years old at this point has no impact on the legality of its distribution. You may however enjoy Micropolis which should easily run under Windows and is based on the original source code.

If the sound effects are PC speaker effects I will suggest that you try the SVN version of DOSBox, as I seem to recall some further improvements to the PC speaker emulation have been made since 0.74 came out. (0.74 is already kind of old.)

If you install the game from original disks, you get to choose the output device. While Sound Blaster is not supported, if you select Tandy DAC and set tandy=on in the [speaker] section, sound should be better.

Are you referring to the links from _Builds ? Because none of those mix "malware and spyware" in with the downloads. I do not understand what led you to that conclusion. The version from -y.net/ is particularly recommended.

I typed into Google search "SVN version of DOSBox download" and I found meny sites. 1 site _Builds has many diffrent builds. 1 site _Builds#SVN_changelog then directs me to I end up with only the Ilivid download manager and a bunch of malware and spyware. I didn't see -y.net/ in the search.

While the Classic version (and it does exist, even if Mobygames will not approve my submission) allows you to change the graphics and sound settings with a program, the original requires a reinstall from the original disks. The install does not work correctly in the official 0.74 but should work in the SVN.
