Softonic Downloader is a download and install manager that provides users to the Softonic web site the ability to download 3rd-party software.

This type of software is typically known as an adware co-bundler. The downloader does not modify the original software.

Description:

This is also known as bundleware, or downloadware, which is an downloader designed to simply deliver ad-supported offers in the setup routine of an otherwise legitimate software.
