Probably has a bunch of people downloading it, and updating it. Kinda like what happened to ESET v4. Couldn't get updates for a while.

When you select update and it fails (unable to connect to web server) if you select Next 360 is caught in a loop of trying to update when its not possible. If 360 is unable to update, it should not allow a user to hit "Next" but should instead say "try again later" and upon selecting "OK" the update module quits. Just a thought.

I observed that here too.
That's a good idea that IObit should consider.

I'm still unable to update. Anyone else having this problem still?

Thanks. I tried it again just now and it worked.

Yeah sorry about that guys. Apparently there was a nice big bottleneck in the server. Everyone was trying to update, but were getting blocked

for my setup, it indicate Update successful for definition "6/26/2009"
but if u click the view history " Update details:
Latest Definition Data(06/26/2009)(C:\Program Files\IObit\IObit Security 360\Addition.def) Download Failed"

Sometimes updates 'partially' fail and give that in the log. In other words the update takes a certain amount of time and takes longer then usual, this then generates a download failed message in the log even if it was successful.

OK Maybe im dumb here but is this compatible with ESET Smart Security 4x running? I have the defaults checked and would love to try it out but not if its gonna cause me problems with eset.
Please let me know.

As far as I know it is compatible.

would this work alongside Avast + Mamutu?

I'm not sure about Mamutu - you'd have to give it a go and report back.

hmm alright ill see how it goes.

[andyman35]

I tried it alongside A2AM with no issues so Mamutu should be ok.

Well since IOBit360 is a light HIPS rather than a BB any overlap shouldn't be an issue,more like a second opinion.I didn't notice any slowdown or delays running applications,etc everything ran very smoothly.That's not to say there aren't any,just not observed by me.Of course you could always tweak the configuration of one of them to avoid a specific overlap if you deemed it necessary.

Let us know how you get on,I'm thinking about this combo for wider use.

well my first impression of it is quite good, the interface is nice, easy to use and responsive and the program is very light and ther are no initial conflicts yet. but im really liking it so far. its a bit buggy cuz its a beta, few hiccups here and ther, but overall working well so far.

smart scan took exactly 7 minutes
full scan took about 27 minutes,
so the scanner seems to be pretty fast.

EDIT:

just rebooted the system, and startup time hasn't noticeably increased, so thats very important for my needs and a good thing

quick question, does this beta auto-update to new beta version or wuld i need to manually install each new beta version?

Good to see it's working ok there.As for the auto-updating,I'm not sure,but personally I always like to perform a clean install with any betas,probably no need to but i like to err on the side of caution.
