I’m rather fine without it right now^^
Tried it, disliked it… hahahah^^

Well, I gave it an honest go…
The good:
The setup was smooth
The interface was clean, if not a bit simplistic
It did have options you could set, customizing the way it ran
The not so good:
I tested this against cleaners that I already have and use. It added nothing to the process,
in fact it failed to clean some items.
The default settings pretty much allow it to basically auto run everything including the reg
cleaning. While it did ask to create a restore point, auto cleaning the reg can be a tricky if not dangerous
activity to perform. Only users with advanced knowledge should play with the registry. This program is geared to the average user, who should not make registry deletions without advanced assistance.
I also did not care for its’ run while idle option. This can be turned off, but it is not necessary to perform
all these options when idle. Kind of overkill.
Conclusion:
I really did not find any use for this program that I already do not have with in other programs, including my browser.
I used my removal program to assist in its’ safe removal from my system, and I was glad I did. It would have left hooks in my reg, and a pile of update files on my drive.
In my opinion, don’t bother.
I agree with the nice summary by PapaSmurf . In addition, it left some remnants behind on uninstallation that you can manually remove in Safe Mode; I personally like clean uninstallations…but I know that is asking a lot.
There are a lot better software out there than this product in my opinion.

Read about BitRemover
IObit is a software company based in Chengdu, China. It mainly creates and markets security software, such as IObit Security 360 and Advanced SystemCare.http://www.t-tools.nl/bitremoveren.phpIt has been widely reported that after uninstalling their programs a considerable amount of data will be left behind on a computer.
Well, yeah… the irony. The tool that’s supposed to clean up after others ain’t able to clean up after itself. ;D
(Wrt IOBit, they actually do have one good product - there’s really nothing wrong w/ their SmartDefrag.)
TY for the link. As it turns out, there were a couple of things left over…geesh.
I agree. I like to try different products, and of course I tried BitRemover on another one of my PC’s, and I got everything off the PC except the FF extension for it. It won’t let me disable or uninstall it. Any ideas how to remove that?
No iObit software anymore in my computer…
