I would like to give this a 5 but can't see how to delete all duplicates found with a single click. Other reviewers say this can be done, but it escapes me. The author's website has forums, FAQ, instructions, but I can't find it. I am using 4.4 the latest version. If this is easy to do, I would welcome your instructions.

I've used this for some time now & is excellent if you have lots of bookmarks.

Good application, version 4.3 available.

Hey Antichrist. As posted in his blog and I quote as to being asked why on FF3 support, he says " no, still no plans to hack into foreign databases. Only browsers that save their bookmarks in a readable plain text format are supported."

Still no Firefox 3 support! I did find a Firefox addon finally, CheckPlaces ( http://www.andyhalford.com/checkplaces/ ), that has most of the functionality though, such as restoring favicons, checking for duplicates and dead links. So I've switched to that and I'm happy with it.

A great program, little and portable.
Five stars.

Been using this program for some time now. It's simply the biz.
terracesider reviewed v3.2 Beta 1 on Jan 29, 2008
Excellent program which has enabled me to quickly and painlessly (but carefully) clear out about 300 multiple bookmarks in under 15 minutes.
fatray reviewed v3.2 Beta 1 on Jan 28, 2008
I've been using this for years. It's great, yes you should use it.
Hall9000 reviewed v3.2 Beta 1 on Jan 28, 2008
Just a few days ago I had to use AM-DeadLink because all the boomark icons were messed up for some reason or an other. Tookk a few minutes to get them all back with it. Just for that reason alone is more than enough to get a 5 from me. The rest of the other functions also make it get a five. I only have one thing I would like to see added. Instead of that "fruit icon" they use to show each link having had their icons updated, how about using the actual icon for those links?

Works perfectly!
ljepava reviewed v3.1 on Apr 13, 2007
great app.
they should add merging bookmarks from browsers and that would be IT.
ghammer reviewed v3.0 on Feb 9, 2007
Works well and has many options for proxies, authentication, etc.
If only he'd add merging bookmarks from different browsers/machines, it'd be a total solution for me.

Simply a MUST HAVE
nilst2006 reviewed v3.0 Beta 1 on Jan 19, 2007
I have used this for ages. It's very fast, it gives always a very good result of my links in Favorites. I really can say, this IS very good to find out if a link works or not. But beware; sometimes it's faulse. Some links You have to check out for Your self. But i can say that almost 98% of the links are correct (don't know the exact word in English).
It's a very good application ! I love it !
Hall9000 reviewed v3.0 Beta 1 on Jan 18, 2007
I expected this program to take ages to check all my favorites but hell was it fast! Installation was simple and fast and startup was no problem. I also took the time to use the tools to check some of the bookmarks that came up as 404s and I have to confess I loved the search option to see if the websites were still up. One of my links was to an article and that one came up as a 404 so I did the search to see if the website itself was still there and it was. Then with the program I used the change bookmark option. Extremely simple to use. I give it a 5.

I believe this is my first review, but I've been a "Click-a-holic" or "Download-a-holic" for ages now, and this was actually a program that worked the first time and flawlessly. I give it a 5!
gate1975mlm reviewed v2.8.1 Beta 1 on Sep 26, 2006
Great tool! I used to use Fav.org but AM-DeadLink more updated and better!
rip_pit reviewed v2.8 on Jun 26, 2006
My prefered !
Latest changes :
Legend: [+]added, [x]changed/improved, [-]bugfix
[+] FavIcon download - new option: Override/Keep existing FavIcons
[+] FavIcons can be assigned manually
[+] Find Duplicates: Select all duplicates with a single click
[x] AM-DeadLink shows an error message if not all IE Favorites could be loaded due to some Unicode restrictions
[x] AM-DeadLink no longer removes manually assigned FavIcons automatically when a server/page doesn't have a FavIcon. FavIcons can now only be removed with the "Delete FavIcons" command.
[+] If you don't work with the internal browser, then the "Open in browser" command will open all selected bookmarks in the external browser
[-] The status of the last check was lost when closing AM-DeadLink while the duplicate view was active
[-] AM-DeadLink could hang in combination with nVidia graphic drivers
[-] AM-DeadLink could crash when aborting a check on some PCs (wininet check technology only)
[-] Start maximized didn't work under Win2k under certain circumstances
[-] The "One level up" feature didn't work properly for URLs with parameters (?param=...)
[-] Check was not finished properly in rare cases (concretely when a windows dll hung)
Many smaller improvements and fixes

besides an error open url whose description I could not find, it reported quite some 404 errors. and when checked with the browser, confirmed ! simple, straightforward and works like a charm. exellent, recommended...

I don't notice many reviews of this excellent piece of software so I just wanted to say get off your a55 and start using this most invaluable piece of FREE software - totally simple software and totally useful software. 5 stars.
Hall9000 reviewed v2.8 Beta 5 on Jun 13, 2006
Download, installed, used, found out that I had a lot more bookmarks than I ever thought. :P It worked flawlesly. I'm using XP Pro.
By the way, before deleting a seemingly dead link, make sure you check it with the browser also. I'm saying this just because I know of a server that is going under maintenance at the moment. Came up as a 404. :P Just so you avoid deleting a bookmark you want to deep. Besides that all I have to say is that it deserves a five.

Date of review in betanews is wrong. Should be March 14. AM-Deadlink beta 3 was released yesterday.

Good stuff!
What are changes you ask? I noticed it can ad the favicons to the links you have it check. Now that's pretty good! :)

Brian49 reviewed v2.7 on Oct 18, 2005
An excellent piece of software. I particularly like its ability to replace outdated URLs with the correct ones, from within the program.
ghammer reviewed v2.7 on Oct 18, 2005
Does its job very well. Fairly configurable too.
If you have a large link collection, it is worth the time to verify them. Out of 600+ this found 50 or so that were dead, and many more that had redirects. Those were easy to fix with this too too.
Giacomo® reviewed v2.06 on Jan 26, 2005
This program, release after release, add new... features and lots of new bugs... maybe I should wait for version 2.5 instead of downloading buggy releases every 5 days.....
zridling reviewed v2.04 on Nov 18, 2004
I wish this was also a dead link app for web pages, but for what it does, it works flawlessly.

rijp reviewed v2.00 Beta 12 on Jun 13, 2004
I have used this program before. I like it. It does a good job. Giacom, don't blame the program for your inadequate prepearation. Ever heard of backup? Perhaps you're better off downloading a good backup program, eh mr. wizard?
bakura reviewed v2.00 Beta 12 on Jun 13, 2004
Outstanding program for checking your Favorites for dead links. I've been using it for months now and consider it one of my essential tools. It's a shame that this ability is not built into any of the current browsers.
Giacomo® reviewed v2.00 Beta 11 on May 28, 2004
In theory this should be a fine program; in practice it found all my 600+ bookmarks as 404 not found and deleted all my favicons of IE, some of which I customized by myself. I have to redo all from scratch...

I can speak about the 1.31 version that looks to still be the last final, it is one must have software , yes it works great with the IE6 , and i will say that this is one of the most useful tools that i own ..
infectiphibian reviewed v1.40 Beta 1 on Dec 12, 2002
The program does what it says it does. For other browsers than IE you must select the path in Settings. I had about 600 links before and now I have about 540.
hansfn reviewed v1.40 Beta 1 on Dec 12, 2002
Has some nice features in addition to the dead link checking - back-up of bookmarks and search for duplicates. It finds the IE bookmarks automatically, but doesn't even try to find the bookmarks for Opera and Netscape - I think it at least should try. It's also possible to check only a subset of the bookmarks - great if you a lot of them... The help pages could be better, but it's not a very difficult program. Overall I think it's great...
