Download AM-DeadLink 2.00 final

After twelve betas, Martin Aignesberger is finally satisfied and has released AM-DeadLink 2.00 final. The program is able to easily detect and possibly delete favorites that point to pages that no longer exist or that appear more than once in your collection. In addition, it can permanently store the favicons that some websites use locally. AM-DeadLink works with most browsers, such as Internet Explorer, Netscape, Mozilla and Opera. The changelog of this release shows the following changes:
