Iobit is back with a new product

garybear with all ur respect too much talking about this memory leak buddy
anyway i hate memory leak programs so in away i agree with you but please we all know this piece of garbage iobit is

 

Hi friend. I'm new here , but I got your message. Load and clear. I'm gone. Only wanted to answer members questions. This forum is different than what I'm used to, but I will get used to it. Thanks for your advice!

 

no problem i dont want to make feel bad as that is not my nature but iobit is a mediocre program we all know that i will advise not to use as it is a hoggy use some thing else and welcome to wilders

 

yes Gray take a chill

 

I have IOBS running now for >27 hours on a test machine. Also for a little over 4 hours on 3 in-the-shop machines at our computer lab. NO leak thus far.

I do not doubt that some folks have encountered problems. However, it is obvious that this problem is difficult to replicate. In my case, 4 computers haven't yet been able to replicate the issue.

GIVEN: It is well-nigh impossible to resolve an issue until after it can be reliably & repeatedly replicated.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A- Users with small RAM (size DOES matter) who want to run IOBS &/or other contemporary big-footprint security programs need to configure their computer properly for that situation. Namely:

A1- They need to learn about & manage the system cache file. See HERE and HERE.

A2- Secondly, they need to optimize their page file. That is a "given" for anyone who wants to run contemporary security programs on small ram. (One of our shop machines has only 512MB RAM & is running IOBS just fine.)

B- If someone says they should not have to configure an out-dated computer in order to run complex contemporary programs, then the options are:

B1- Upgrade RAM
OR
B2- Reboot at convenient times during the day (e.g., when going to lunch, using the restroom, etc). NOTE: For quite a long time Firefox had issues about not fully releasing unused memory. Mozilla's programmers took many many months to finally ameliorate this issue (it still is *slightly* present for some FF users). In the meantime, the school solution was REBOOT.
OR
B3- Use cleanmem. Yes, this is a controversial approach. However, cleanmem does NOT actually do any cleaning itself. Instead it simply calls the Windows API "EmptyWorkingSet" and Windows itself does the memory housekeeping. Also, cleanmem runs for only 2 or 3 seconds every half-hour -- less often, if desired.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I find it interesting that, thus far in this thread, no one has offered any actual non-anecdotal, objective SECURITY performance information concerning IOBS.

I will again mention that the single most IMPORTANT fact about this or any other security program is...

HOW GOOD IS IT at protecting your computer?

Until that question is answered, who gives a rip about any other aspect of IOBS? Not me, that's for sure.

 

Hi friend!! Thank you. All very good information!! I have done everyone of them. I can see you are very PC literate. I have a few of your skills and I'm always learning. Very informative post. Thank you!!

 

Hi! I'm almost afraid to post on this thread. I do not want to be banned. Since bellgamin is testing IObit360 for memory leaks, I just want to tell him what I experienced. My wife is a big fan of Outlook Express. After my PC was left running for 3 days, Outlook Express would not open mail and would get a message of low memory. Also IE8 wound not connect to internet with same message. After reboot, every thing was fine. I use Smart Ram to return memory to my system, but it did not help. I discovered by accident that if I did not run IObit in real time, I would have no problems with memory. I asked IObit to fix this and was banned for my effort. I do not want to break forum rules. I just want to tell bellgamin what I found. I want to just leave this thread and move on, but I keep getting drawn back.===garybear

 

@garybear

Relax, we get the message No need to reinvent the wheel.

Enjoy your stay here

 

Sorry again!! I just wanted to help bellgamin with his tests. Do we not won't to help each other on this site??

 

HI friend! I'm really trying my best. I'm leaving this thread and I'm moving on. I'm afraid to say any thing, so it's best I just leave even though I would love to help bellgamin with his test. I might just send him PM instead of posting. I will give it some thought. Poof I'm gone!!
