Windows 10: internet download manager

I have an internet download manager from Tonec Inc. in my program files that wants to be run. One website on the net says it is some type or tracking virus. Is it safe to run? and does Microsoft offer a better version of internet download manager that I should install? Thanks,Steve

Internet Downloads

Thanks all for the useful suggestions, i certainly can understand the idea of refreshing downloads. I wish Firefox had that little button lol. Now i'll try and download Warrock (a great FREE game) with download manager though (annoyingly) firefox is now downloading without buggering up!
I just did a few spyware scans which though didn't stop the probs it probably did stop all thoses bloody programs from using the internet and slowing it down.
