I have been using Freemake for years now. The first thing I would suggest is to do a custom installation. This way you can say no to all the malware stuff. Nothings free, there's always a price.

As for the facebook. The facebook videos give you an option to watch the video on youtube. From there you can get the down load link. And one last tip. If your have problems, look for a new update from freemake. You might have to wait for an update sometimes. But its free, so you can't complain.

Edit: I forgot my manners. Nice post Solarguy.
