Run away from iObit products…!

Absolutely not, aside from the obvious not running two resident AVs, it is only time before you get bit in the ass.

You also have to trust whatever security application/company you use and ethics/morals have to feature high on that list and iobit seem to have a chequered past in this regard.

Which IOBit Software? I run iOBit System Care Pro toghther with Avast!5.0 Free, no problem so far~

We can’t trust in such company anymore: stole from Malwarebytes than from TuneUp…

If not forgotten IOBIT came from Chinese people. :wink:

They get updates from MBAM detection and put it to their Product.

Sadly im a chinese also. 8)

Well, not all IOBit Products are evil, guilty and unreliable… Anyway, SmartDefrag is fairly good
And ‘Chinese’… It’s not the point, I’ve never seen a single user of IOBit among my domestic friends (in mainland China), no need to be ‘sad’, serious.
PS: MBAM is not so fantastic as what has been described in hosts of posts. In China, I don’t think it is able to detect 50% viruses on circulation. In accordance with a test (informal), even one month later, the detection rate of MBAM is as low as 58%, compared with avst! 97% and ESET, Avira,Panda, Kaspersky , etc., whose detection rates are all over 93%. (Viruses based on a list collected among a whole month)
It hasn’t marched into China, well, this might be one of the reasons. But even before Avira marched into china, its detection rate was the highest among all AVs (heaps of false positives, though), hence the only thing to blame seems to be its technology.

What’s the problem with the Chinese?

It’s a matter of trust… We lost it.
Auslogic Defrag is doing a better job.

Which one?

Auslogic Defrag is doing a better job.
In term of..?
Which one?
MBAM

Edit…

Peace!

Anyhow,I deem it necessary to clarify some adherent misleadings. With a polulation of nearly 1,500,000,000 (estimated by Chinese public) whose level of education is getting higher and higher, what are you expecting? ‘Many of the ** are chinese’, it make no sense.
And ‘Piracy’. Is it because the Chinese grudge paying for them (for example, AVs)? Not necessarily. Did you know that only one single extra service provided by Tencent (the company running QQ, an IM in China) would consume 30 yuan a month? (Compared with Norton Internet Security, which could be bought at a price of 125 for two years’ service, and Bitdefender, which used to be at a price of 69 yuan for three years’ services when on sale) While Tencent has incented eight extra value-added services for QQ (what are they? well, for example,you can make your QQ Zone, something like Facebook, extremely charming, beautiful, fascinating). You can Google for more information if you want.
Most of the software companies are diplucating the operation modes exercised in their own countries to their China market while expecting to see them run well, which is a ridiculous fantacy.

even one month later, the detection rate of MBAM is as low as 58%, compared with avst! 97% and ESET, Avira,Panda, Kaspersky , etc., whose detection rates are all over 93%
You can not compare the detection rate of MBAM with AV programs. MBAM is a specialized tool, with about 250 000 definitions. they concentrate on frech Trojan like malware. avast is close to 3 000 000 in definitions They block bad websites (IP block) but they do not scan for HTML / java script inf like AV programs do They also remove detection when they see that the bug is not a problem for AV programs.....

Arguing with a youngster like ziucqea is like aguing with a big mountain that refuses to move at your command ::slight_smile:

Posting in blue exposes his newness :wink:

Maybe he knows everything and will take over the world soon ;D

IOBIT are thieves :frowning:

They not only stole technology and signatures from MBAM, but probably from other companies as well ( according to Marcin ) :-\

Greetz, Red.

C’mon YoKenny, there’s no need to be attacking other users :wink:
And so what if he posts in blue?

Doing the same job and the company does not steal intellectual property and work…
It’s just my personal perception and (no) trust in the company.

I don’t trust IoBit either. I tried SmartDefrag for a while and found it’s optimization routines to be anything but smart. It scattered my files all over my hard drive and left huge gaps of empty space between them. Even the XP defrag tool did better than that. Auslogics on the other hand is lightning fast and does an excellent job of compacting the files and eliminating those empty space gaps. Then you have the known incidents of pirating other vendors’ software and that’s enough for me to stay away.

(Whether they’re Chinese or European or American or even Klingon is totally irrelevant)

BitDefender got over 6,000,000, so what?
I’m not saying MBAM is not good (although I do think so, at least in China). Also, I wonder what the Chinese version of MBAM is for. Translating it into a language which would not be used by over 100 pelple? The only community to use it should be the testers.
