Malwarebytes claim: IObit is stealing signature databases

Important read here http://www.malwarebytes.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=29681&pid=152610&st=0&#entry152610

 

malwarebytes is probably the best anti-malware software out there with the best signatures, one of the best heuristics and removal methods...no wonder iobit steals from them...and probably others do..if i were a security software vendor i would probably steal from them... it`s hard not to... keep up the good work malwarebytes!!!

 

Other companies are smart enough not to do this . Every vendor has trap defs , these fools did not read the rule book .

 

Looks like they took a shortcut, which turns out to be the wrong way

 

Read that announcement...thank god they outed themselves. I can't imagine such charlatans amongst the ranks of the security vendors.

 

A thread that was started on the IOBit forum has been very quickly deleted by the mods.

 

I saw that.

 

It figures,it's a terrible program anyway,it flags nothing but FPs.

I'm surprised it is even recommended on this board.

 

...and there goes another one deleted. That one lasted all of 3 minutes.

 

never saw it as my avatar.

 

Haha!

 

Malwarebytes is one of the security software companies I felt obligated to buy a license from, as their product is top notch.

 

I just watched them delete another thread on their forums.
A member called them thieves and that they were deleting threads to
hide the truth.

 

I would agree with that. One of the few that offer a free version of their software that is very good. They deserve better.

 

I saw two more deleted.

 

I've totalled 4 so far. Whilst it looks highly suspect, iobit should be given a chance to formally respond to the accusation. It looks pretty damning...but you never know.

 

YOU DONT DELETE POSTS! All that does is prove guilt. They could respond to each one if there is any evidence of innocence. I mean you can lock them, but deleting them just proves you are hiding. Maybe LWM will loan the time-out room to them.

 

every boddy here at wilders should delete the software from our pcs as we can not trust a company that likes to steal

 

why did you put it on there to begin with. Come on, you folks jab me and rightfully so but even I am not going to start installing software from a new so called vendor because it looks good. You let people who know what they are doing test it out and then you decide. That is why I love this place.

 

i personally tried new software from time to time for testing purposes but look how a trusted company turned to be ''thieves''

 

And another one bites the dust.

 

who labeled them as trusted? You? No offense but to me that title is earned with time, not detection.

 

And the guy that posted them has been banned as well. lol

 

I've been a fan of their Advanced SystemCare Pro and Smart Defrag, but after hearing this.. 50 dkp minus!

 

i hope they added this software(IObit) to the Malware data base to put it in quarentine
