IObit Security 360 Kills Fake IObit Anti-Malware

Fore some considerable tome xoftspy was listed on the spywarewarrior site (http://www.spywarewarrior.com/rogue_anti-spyware.htm) as a rogue anti-spyware.

They were supposed to have cleaned up their act and were removed, personally there are many anti-spyware applications out there with no dubious history for me to ever use any of their software.

It is on WOT now

Have also been posted on IOBit forum and removed…strange…

Kinda like not positive things about Comodo on their forum?

Time to get rid of it and the rest of their software. :cry:

How very rude of these people.

Confirmed by hpHosts.

Iobit is herby guilty of fraud.

Sounds like they’re too lazy to come up with their own database. What a rip off.

I wonder whether this software is like an illegal version of something like GDATA or it is simply “repackaged” version of Malwarebytes…

As an end-user, it shouldn’t be a problem if anti-virus companies “share” their info but it’s illegal in the context of intellectual properties, which is not always respected outside of so-called “Western” countries. I guess some agreements in the area of international laws are needed among developed countries and rising ones.

Thieves would rather steal than work as honest work requires effort.

That mean they don’t need to work hard they just get new malware from other databases and just intergrate them in Iobit security 360!
Too bad smart defrag will miss us!

Wahl Hell Yeah!! Lets get our Rope!! We aint gonna burn no cross on your front yard,but we will shore as hell roast some marshmallows on the cross somebody else has lit!!"

Malwarebytes has all the street cred of Eminem.
These are the same Wally’s that billed themselves as a “Complete Malware Solution” yet bitched when they were tested as such!! (EMSI tests+ earlier SSupdater Tests.)

The motivation?
How about quashing an up and coming rival in the already crowded arena of
“antispyware/anti malware”?

Believe what you want.
I believe Malwarebytes is so crooked, they have to screw their pants on.

@normishmael

I say get the lawyers involved to settle their differences.

Read the update news http://msmvps.com/blogs/donna/archive/2009/11/03/iobit-is-denies-stealing-of-mbam-database.aspx

It said

We also have many various sources of malware samples from warm-hearted users, computer security fans, and major security groups from all over the world. We have admitted that it’s hard to avoid mistakes, like a silly or duplicated name. But there is in no way means we steal Malwarebytes’ or any other’s database. We are investigating and tracking on those items which Malwarebytes declared stolen.

MalwareBytes never released their “fake” detections into the wild. There’s no way they could have been submitted by users.

Either MalwareBytes is lying, or IOBits is.

I know who I believe.

Who Sherlock Holmes!..MalwareBytes :wink:

The “truth” shall prevail, must that be the reason why we should stop this?

No, I dnt think so…Someone has got to pay for “their” deeds, reaping “their” fruits that “they” bore…

Justice be done my friends…^^ :slight_smile:

I did it quite some time ago. I lost confidence when then did Advanced Windows Care a shareware.
Time to get rid of their Defragmentation tool…

All IObit software is now removed from my computers.
