There are many websites on the Internet that can download videos from YouTube, Facebook, IG, Douyin, etc. Computer King Ada also introduced many useful download websites and tools. You can use the search tool on our website to find them. We have tested them all. Posted by: Since there are so many useful websites and tools, let’s do something different this time.
What I want to report to you this time is which download websites are actually problematic. You may be on this page , unknowingly you were forced to implant viruses by embedded advertisements, causing the leakage of your personal information. I will write a series of articles next, hoping that everyone can avoid these information security risks after reading them:
Y2mate
Editor's note: This website is a copycat of another useful website "Y2META" that we have recommended before. There are two letters different and the website is the same. Don't make a mistake: y2meta Downloading Youtube videos is super convenient, you only need one URL!
I won’t put any links here. If you are not afraid of death, you can try it. The interface is very simple and the usage is very simple. It's simple, just paste the URL you want to download into the search bar. For YouTube, you can download MP4 up to 1080P, and for audio, you can download MP3.
As you can see in the screen, some strange ads have appeared in the upper right corner. :
While opening this webpage, my Kaspersky anti-virus software has detected that there is adware to download on this webpage, and it has been blocked by Kaspersky:
When I clicked the option to download 1080P, there were many young women and girls desperately trying to chat with me XD. When I turned off one, the next one would immediately run out, which was annoying!
No matter how I clicked Download, it just keeps reorganizing the download page, and then Kaspersky keeps popping up notifications:
Later, the page is even banned by Kaspersky and cannot be downloaded at all:
At first, I used Chrome to download Y2mate. No matter how I tried, it would keep reorganizing and blocking. Later, I tried using the Edge browser. Although it kept jumping ads and reorganizing, it still failed. I am a bit speechless at being able to download videos.
After actual testing, the downloaded videos indeed have 1080P picture quality and also have audio playback, so they are usable!
In addition to being able to be downloaded from Y2mate's own website In addition, as long as you change the URL of the video to youtube → youtubepp, it will automatically jump to the Y2mate download page, and you can download the video directly.
Experience
In summary, the download was successful later. Y2mate is still useful, and the interface is clean! But when it comes to security issues, I really don’t recommend you to use Y2mate. There are too many problems. Many free download websites also have advertisements and pop-up windows. The page is acceptable. After all, we are using the resources of this website for free.
But after starting to download, the anti-virus software successively detects that high-threat things may be downloaded. If the anti-virus software of the user's computer today If the firewall is not powerful enough, your computer data may be stolen, so Y2mate is highly not recommended for everyone to use. Next time we find other problematic websites, we will continue to provide information to let everyone know as much as possible. Let everyone avoid information security problems.
