Find out the URLs of video downloads and streaming links

It can often be annoying when you need to find out a URL to a video or download and you can't retrieve it because it's hidden within a JavaScript or ActiveX script. URL Helper helps you get one over on the awkward web designers who perpetrate this by sniffing out the URL for you. The program does this through the WinPCap platform, which thankfully is bundled with URL Helper, making it easy to install.

Finding the URL link to a piece of video or streaming media is pretty straightforward, and can be achieved in just a couple of clicks. In addition you can filter results by file extension, with each type clearly marked in a different colour, helping you quickly find your way around the maze of URLs. As far as we could tell, the program doesn't find links hidden within Flash pages, but does a great job of sifting through JavaScript and ActiveX scripts.

  • Pros

    • Finds links within two clicks
    • Colour-coded filtering options
  • Cons

    • Doesn't work with Flash

Softonic

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
