Basic use

1. Select your browser from the checkbox

2. Check the bookmarks

3. Sort the bookmarks

4. Open/Delete the bookmarks from your browser

Tip:

When AM-DeadLink detects dead links it is recommended to validate the result before deleting the bookmarks from the browser. In some cases a server can send an error-message when the site is temporarily not reachable.

When you delete Bookmarks AM-DeadLink writes the Log-file deadlink.log with the deleted bookmarks.

When you delete Bookmarks from Opera or from Netscape, AM-DeadLink generates BAK-Files of your Bookmark-File called:

•	operaX.adr_deadlink_bak (Opera)

•	bookmark.htm_deadlink_bak (Netscape)


Privacy

AM-DeadLink does NOT send any personal data to any server.

We don't collect any data of any kind!

AM-DeadLink is NOT Spyware.

AM-DeadLink only checks your browser bookmarks if they are available.

PS.

If you won't believe it feel free to open and check all your bookmarks manually with your browser :-))

FAQ

Q. I cannot change my IE favorites, why?

A. Please check if your favorites have the necessary rights to be modified. If you have the necessary rights please check if your favorites files have the flag "read only" (can occur when you copy your favorites from a CD backup to your hard disc).

Q. Why does AM-DeadLink find my IE favorites, but not my NS or Opera bookmarks?

A. IE favorites are stored in one single folder while NS and Opera can be installed more than once. So you can have different bookmark files and you must select the bookmark file manually (general options).

Q. Every bookmark reports an error, why?

A. If you need a proxy to access to the internet you must enter the proxy configuration in the general options. Some users reported problems with firewalls or virus tools, maybe such a tool causes an error.

Q. I cannot check FTP sites through a proxy, why?

A. AM-DeadLink supports the transparent login, maybe this login is not supported by your proxy.
