Freemake Audio Converter is an ad-supported app; it can be downloaded, installed and used free of charge but it installs Freemoods browser extension, and changes the default home page and default search engine, unless explicitly asked otherwise.[1]
Bloatware
On installation the default settings install bloatware including toolbars for internet browsers Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer. It is possible to avoid these by carefully selecting the installation requirements select custom and do not select the toolbars option. It will warn you that it will not install anything but that is wrong continue anyway. It will show you another screen and it will have selected default again - you need to select custom once more then you should be good to install with no bloatware.
